Take Control and Live:
This book was recommended by a cancer therapist and provides powerful testimonials from patients who have used a major health crisis to re-evaluate and re-cast their life's direction. In so doing, many conquered what otherwise would be a death sentence. The advice is valid not solely for cancer victims, but for all who are ready to take control of their lives and allow the mind and spirit to make the most of our powerful immune system and disease-fighting capabilities. A very uplifting and provocative book.
Cancer As a Turning Point:
I found this book to be of help in understanding the cancer "pyche".Some of the mind-body connections are definitely beneficial in dealing with this subject.It makes more sense to the present day alternative approach to treating people.
Cancer As a Turning Point:
My father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer not too long ago. He is 87 years old and has had a very full life. This book was recommended to me by the family member of another pancreatic cancer patient. The book is warm, true and full of both tangible medical strategies and spiritual hope. It has given me great comfort in this time of such unrest. If you are looking for a bit of light in this great time of darkness in your life this is the book to get. -Blessings
