Comprehensive Breast Care

Many people live their entire lives without ever having their eyes opened. Oh I don’t mean they’re physically blind, but that they never have a sense of themselves as a member of society. They never really see the world around them or the people around them. Sometimes it takes a catastrophic event in our lives to give us that new vision that opens our eyes to life and love and people around us. I sincerely hope that you never have a catastrophic event that cannot be overcome, but I wish you all some event which will give you an emotional or spiritual or philosophical awakening while you are still young enough to appreciate it. Why do I mention this in the conclusion of a book about comprehensive breast care and surviving breast cancer? Because it is the passion that will carry you through the low points in your life, and let you see a different side of living. True, most of you will not get breast cancer; but knowing that one out of eight women will get that disease should give you the chance to help others and thereby help yourselves. Those touched by Cancer are in some ways the lucky ones because they can see a new horizon in their lives. Those who will never have cancer can only reach this understanding by becoming involved with those who have. I would hope that the knowledge and resources in this book will impact your life in a positive way, much as working with patients with breast and other diseases has impacted mine.
