Honestly, there’s no stopping this amazing author. First Dr Kathleen Thompson won The Words for the Wounded Independent Author Book Award, judged by literary agent, Felicity Trew of the Caroline Sheldon Literary Agency last year, and now news is just in  that she has won a Platinum Award for From Both Ends of the Stethoscope in the book category of the The Janey Loves 2017 Platinum Natural Products and Services Awards

Frost Magazine is not in the least surprised at Dr Kathleen Thompson’s success. Not only is Dr Kathleen the medical correspondent for Frost Magazine but the book is extraordinary. It is wise, funny and honest. Dr Kathleen has experienced breast cancer, and has turned the whole episode into a positive journey through the minefield of emotional turbulence, fear, hope, loneliness.

She reaches out and takes hold of her readers’ hands, and answers the questions that patients don’t even know they want to ask. It is accessible, compassionate, wise. This woman needs to write a novel because with her turn of phrase and insights it would be a similar corker.

If you have a friend, or are on the cancer journey yourself, this will be the present that will be of most value.

The Janey Loves 2017 Platinum Natural Products and Services Awards have a multitude of categories from Health and Well-being, Remedies, Food and Drink, Garden and Pet products, to books and apps. The judges are high calibre and include Zoe Ball, Carrie Grant and Janey Lee Grace who as you all know is a Radio 2 DJ.

Frost Magazine sends congratulations, bravos, whoop whoops to our lovely and talented friend Dr Kathleen Thompson. Great great news to see us through the week. Glasses of fizz raised all round.
