ChemRad Mind Games: Playing to Win the Cancer Challenge


When life throws you into the toughest game of all-cancer-you soon discover it's not just your body in the fight, but your mind too.


Psychologist Carla Fotev has walked this path herself. Through surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and the rollercoaster of recovery, she learned that resilience isn't something you simply have-it's something you can train for.


Drawing on her professional expertise, humour, and honesty, Carla shares the psychological and practical strategies that helped her stay strong, sane, and even smiling through treatment. Written in a warm, conversational tone, ChemRad Mind Games invites you to view cancer treatment as the ultimate sport - with the cancer warrior as the elite athlete. You'll move through:


Pre-Game Training - Getting mentally and emotionally fit for what lies ahead.
Game Time - Using focus and mental 'gaming' strategies to stay in the fight and play to win.
Post-Game Recovery - Adjusting, celebrating, and embracing your new normal after treatment.


ChemRad Mind Games reveals how the power of your mind can shape your experience and even your healing. An uplifting, practical, and empowering companion for anyone navigating cancer, and for the family and friends cheering them on, this is essential for your journey. It's not just about surviving the game-it's about learning how to play it well and coming out stronger and more resilient.
