Finding Health After Cancer: Stories of Renewal and Healing

Each person you’ll read about in this book faced a life-challenging and life-changing moment in his or her own way. Each of these cancer conquerors was forced to make a variety of decisions as they navigated their path to health. Priorities shifted without warning as they learned their diagnosis. They began asking questions, listening to friends and family members, tuning in to their intuition, and researching options. The stories share the information I learned. Each person you’ll meet in this book transformed his or her life following their cancer diagnosis. Treatment varied from person to person: some people followed a conventional treatment plan, while others turned to complementary and alternative treatment.I was shocked to learn that there were so many paths to health and that lifestyle choices can impact our health even more than genetics. That is why I’ve written this book: I was also struck by the fact that I had gathered information that isn’t readily available to all cancer patients. If any of my friends or family members were diagnosed with cancer, I’d want them to know that they had choices to make surrounding their treatment – that they could and should take an active role in their treatment plan. The people you’ll meet in this book found a way to steer clear of a downward spiral when they were handed a cancer diagnosis. They looked at their options, decided which treatment suited their particular situation, and forged ahead. They also became advocates for themselves and other cancer patients. Should you or a loved one be faced with a cancer diagnosis, I hope these stories provide inspiration to you as you identify your path to health.
