Eight Ways to Take an Active Role in Your Health

This book is both practical in its solid advice and inspirational in its message of hope and healing. After the diagnosis of cancer, the patient may wonder, "what now?" ... how to help the healing process, how to view the disease in a realistic but hopeful way, how to use nutrition, exercise, and visualization to keep the body strong. Also, it focuses on how to find meaning in life, to celebrate and enjoy life with laughter, to explore personal spirituality. I found this book to be invaluable, inspirational, and insightful, and would recommend it to any cancer patient, or a concerned friend or relative who wants to help a patient with supportive and solid advice for coping. (This book advocates principles to use in addition to medical treatment, never instead of medical therapy.)
