THIS GROUP IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED

goulnik presents 'Say "NO" to Cancer - 100 Stories by Chinese Cancer Patients' 《对癌症说“不” ──百名癌症患者故事》 a book published in Chinese as part of 中国健康知识传播激励计划系列丛书。 Aside from medical terminology related to cancer diagnosis and therapy, there is a lot of vocabulary about feelings and emotions. Stories with expandable vocabulary annotations and table of content are regularly added, full list under http://goulnik.com/sayno/ NB : the book received sponsorship from 上海罗氏制药公司 (Roche pharmaceuticals). I happen to be employed at the head office of that company, but this is a personal initiative for which I am not getting any company support, other than a free copy of the book.
