Book excerpt: "In 2008, Amy Curran Baker was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma and opted for bilateral mastectomy with Direct to Implant Reconstruction. Within three weeks of being diagnosed she had a mastectomy and was on the road to recovery. But after the surgery she had a lot of questions, the same that most women will have. As an Occupational Therapist, she knew some of the answers from her own clinical training and experience. But many more came from speaking with other women who had undergone mastectomies, from researching message boards, and a little bit of luck. Now she and her co-authors have brought together the answers to the questions that women face in chapters that cover everything from how to prepare for going to the hospital to when you come home" -- publisher's web site.

Book excerpt: This wise little book of 150 meditations is like a breast cancer support group. It is exactly what a woman recuperating in her hospital bed or during any of the other milestones of treatment and recovery might need—the advice and wisdom of other women who have preceded her in confronting breast cancer. Gathered here are moving reflections, anecdotes, and practical information for women concerned with or diagnosed with this disease. Built upon the experiences of women of all ages–women who have undergone all types of breast surgery and treatments from lumpectomy and mastectomy to radiation and chemotherapy; women who are single, married, divorced, widowed, straight, gay–the reflections touch upon topics as universal as fear and grief and as intimate as sex. The meditations help women: • discover healing insights and support • explore options for defining a “new normal” • commit to living each and every moment, fully and fearlessly Every three minutes a woman in America is diagnosed with breast cancer. Shocking but true. And The Language of Healing is a place for all those women to find comfort and strength, day by day, and a reminder that breast cancer patients – at any stage of the disease or recovery – are not alone.

Book excerpt: When Dr. Stacey Keen, a radiologist, viewed her own screening mammogram, she immediately knew she had cancer. Defeating Breast Cancer: A Physician's Story of Healing, Martial Arts and Life maps out her journey through diagnosis, treatment, and triumph. In telling her story, Dr. Keen relays not only her mental and emotional journey, but also her experience with complementary medicine (acupuncture) and her traditional course of treatment (surgery followed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy). Dr. Keen is candid, witty, and knowledgeable, and she offers a unique perspective as medical expert, patient, and survivor in one. Doctors, as well as cancer patients and their loved ones, will come away from her uplifting book well-informed, less apprehensive of life-saving treatments, and armed with invaluable resources. Dr. Keen's tale of survival brings encouragement, hope, and empowerment to anyone struggling with breast cancer or other life-threatening illnesses. Humor, positive attitude, and the best of Eastern and Western philosophy and medicine: I enlisted them all to maximize my chances of survival and to grow through this experience. Those who seek a somber tome about breast cancer should look elsewhere. Those who stay with me through these pages will glimpse a way of coping with cancer that I hope can brighten their lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of the effects and outcomes of Spiritual Healing in the context of women with breast cancer receiving long-term hormonal therapy. Background Spiritual Healing is widely available and used by many but is a neglected area of research. Whilst the exact mechanisms are not understood and healers make no claim to cure, evidence suggested that Spiritual Healing as a holistic complementary therapy could support women whose quality of life is negatively affected by breast cancer and its treatments. After initial surgical, radiological and/or chemical treatments, the majority of women are prescribed hormonal therapy for at least five years, giving rise to immediate and long-term symptoms that compromise their quality of life and force some to take respite from treatment. Spiritual Healing was thought to have the potential to improve quality of life and encourage continued compliance with potentially life-saving orthodox therapy. Method This qualitative study used Unitary Appreciative Inquiry to explore the fullness and richness of patients' changing life patterns. An observational study of Spiritual Healing took place in a clinical research facility within a district general hospital, and was given by healers with a nationally recognised qualification. Twelve breast cancer patients, who reported at least one onerous treatment side-effect, self-referred to the study and were given ten Spiritual Healing sessions of approximately 40 minutes' duration each. Data included direct observations noted by healers, patient's daily logs, researcher's field diary and one-to-one semi-structured interviews. Findings The effects of breast cancer and its treatments were long-lasting and permeated every aspect of these participants' lives. The physical effect of cancer and its treatments restricted usual activities, leading to low morale and emotional distress. Patients' narratives expressed loss and regret and for all patients fear was a constant companion. Observational data illustrated how the experience of Spiritual Healing reduced physical side-effects, including hot flushes, and afforded a sense of serenity and hope. Conclusions This study highlights the potential for Spiritual Healing as a complementary therapy to alleviate many of the distressing effects of breast cancer and its treatments, most notably during long-term hormonal therapy. These findings appear to justify further research to understand the potential value of Spiritual Healing as a complementary therapy to support orthodox medical care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For fourteen years, Brenda Michaels battled cancer. Then one day she surrendered to the experience and found the gift in her disease. The Gift of Cancer: A Miraculous Journey to Healing speaks to anyone on a journey of wellbeing, whether suffering from a life-threatening disease or merely desiring to live a better, more fulfilling life. After Brenda’s third cancer diagnosis and being told she had a year to live, she boldly stepped away from the accepted medical model, said “no” to chemotherapy, and chose alternative treatment. This unorthodox path, the connection of mind, body, and spirit, which many experts now believe is the key to true healing, ultimately saved Brenda’s life and put her in control of her own destiny. Her story reveals the immense healing power available within each of us. With each obstacle Brenda encounters, we see the indefatigable courage and fortitude she demonstrates in facing her demons both inside and out. Michaels’ uplifting memoir encourages us to listen to our inner voice, trust our intuition, and look at the true source of healing. When we are willing to look deep within and take responsibility for our choices, we have the power to alter the course of our lives in miraculous and unexpected ways.
