Living Through Cancer: A Practical Guide to Cancer Related Concerns

Living Through Cancer is a powerful daily living guide to practical, personal cancer care. It is written in an incisive and easy to read style, and can be a reference for cancer concerns, a practical text to make life easier for those touched by cancer, or a resource to read slowly and savor. With solid insight and keen intuition, the book presents cancer, not as an isolated negative part of life, but, if we allow it, a positive force that can contribute to a stronger integration of the person and a broader perspective of life. This book communicates to us that even when all things appear to be lost, there is still much to gain if we can fully open our eyes to see it. This may be the most important message of the book, for it opens the door for us to peer inside and take a look at a life with cancer that can be more fulfilling than we had previously imagined. Essentially, power is taken away from cancer as a death sentence, or curse, or tragedy, and it is presented as an opportunity to learn and grow. Sassan Farjami, M.D., F.A.C.
