From the publisher

The first goal of this book is to provide the patient with accurate information. The second goal is to show how a combination of "orthodox medicine" and complementary therapies can help people through their cancer diagnosis, treatment and follow up. The book also incorporates a novel "4 cusp" approach, which enables women to explain to their families where they are in the process. The "4 cusp" approach is like a map for people with cancer. Early chapters apply to all women diagnosed with cancer, followed by chapters for each specific site of disease. Then follow chapters on chemotherapy, radiotherapy, pain management, complementary therapies and spiritual approaches. The chapter on bereavement broadens out from matters related to death to the whole process of coming to terms with one's diagnosis and treatment.

From the rear cover

Women's Cancers: Pathway to Healing - A Patient's Guide to Dealing Ovarian and Breast Cancer provides accurate information that combines both orthodox medical treatments, along with more complementary and esoteric therapies. Giving not only a valuable source of information and support to women with cancer, it also proves a useful resource for families and friends; helping them to understand the process of management and treatment. The book incorporates a useful and novel '4-cusp approach, ' which has proved very helpful to many women, both to themselves and also in allowing them to explain to their families where they are in the process. The '4-cusp approach' is like a map for people with cancer.

Covering not only the medical, but also the emotional and psychological aspects of dealing with cancer, Pathways to Healing: A Patient's Guide to Ovarian and Breast Cancer aims to help anyone struggling to come to terms with their own, or a loved one's grief.
