Summary: Highly recommended by a cancer survivor!
Review: When I was diagnosed with cancer 3 years ago, I found this book on Amazon.com. It was an empowering and refreshing take on cancer management and treatment. When you have cancer you sometimes feel everything is out of your control. This book helped me to understand that there were many things I could still control about my disease and how I chose to cope with it. And yes, I meditated and used healing imagery!! I also ate healthy foods, exercised and kept working even though I felt like I had a hangover for 6 months. Like anything, you take the parts of this book's methodology that work for you and use them. It would be foolish to stop your treatment against your physician's advice just because you read a book. But it is also foolish to sit back and expect the doctors to cure you without participating and doing your part--including helping your body heal itself, whether physically or emotionally. In no way did this book make me feel like having cancer was my fault.Now, I am cancer free and I am re-ordering the book for my cousin's husband who was just diagnosed with prostate cancer. I hope that he will enjoy it as much as I did. No, it doesn't replace traditional treatment, but at least the authors encourage you to take control of your destiny. By the way, I ran a marathon exactly one year after the day of my last chemo treatment. Anyone who thinks positive thinking, healing imagery, meditation and "mind over matter" is a bunch of new-age hype, is welcome to join me on my next 26.2 mile run!!
