Wonderfully insightful … Klabbers’s interactions with patients are often inspired.
Agnes Nieuwenhuizen, Weekend Australian

Enlightening and moving.
Ramona Koval

Anyone interested in how patients and professionals share the experience of cancer, and how relationships form in unusual and unfortunate circumstances will appreciate this book. It is for anyone who likes to think about the minutiae of another's life. It is about the ability to keep one's heart open in ill health and any reader will find a smile and a tear in the encounters described.

[I Am Here] may help a professional if they were to get cancer and had not read anything else. As a ward assistant in a hospice and dealing with patients that have cancer, I found it very useful indeed.

This is a lovely book with an insight into how people feel; it invites others to voice their feelings. It is useful for all aspects of dealing with a cancer diagnosis but could also help in other long-term conditions or acute illness scenarios.

It’s beautifully written, incredibly moving and lingering … terrible, ordinary, tragic.
