To Health!: The New Humanistic Oncology

By focusing closely on his own and his patient's actual experiences, facts usually not explored by cancer doctors, Dr. Zighelboim opens a unique window for us. From it we see the workings of people's inner worlds after they have received a cancer diagnosis. It is all there, the profound inner turmoil and struggle, the feelings, thoughts, images, dilemmas, conflicts, dreams, and inspirations. But the result is not more pain, rather the reverse. As readers follow these sensitively told stories, they are moved to feel hope and encouragement. All who suffer, whatever their disease or problem, can find positive help here. In this book, we learn how to heal ourselves, even when we go through the fires of diseases or disasters. Reading To Health, we learn how it is possible to find comfort and joy--even when medical science cannot cure our illness.
