EXCERPTS FROM FAITH, HOPE and CANCER

Many people have asked me, "What do you know about getting well?" My simple answer is prayer and people, or people praying for me.  It's about a strong support system. It's about the people in that system and their willingness to go the distance with me. --Chapter 8

Cancer needs to be addressed at all levels: physical, mental and spiritual. There are choices beyond traditional treatments.  We need to explore all health options.  Many of those options take advantage of natural healing mechanisms.  We can think in terms of our potential for good health as greater when we use more than a single approach.
--Chapter 11
