Traditional cancer treatment often ignores the emotional, spiritual and social functioning of the patient yet it is estimated tha more than 50 per cent of cancer patients seek alternative therapies, rarely telling their oncologist and sometimes compromising their treatments. For the first time, JOURNEY THROUGH CANCER shows you how to do both. After watching his father die of cancer, this prominent US oncologist pioneered the notion of pairing traditional medical treatment with alternative treatments and this book show how it can be done in seven steps: educating yourself about cancer; psychosocial support; strengthening the body through nutrition, herbs, massage and relaxation; emotional healing; the mind; life assessment and the nature of spirit.
