Cancer Saved My Life

About the Book

This book is the result of my desire to share what I learned from the experience of surviving breast cancer that metastasized to the bone. The changes I made in my life as the result of this illness have led to a happier, healthier and more productive life in so many ways. I have attained an inner peace that I never had before. I made lifestyle changes such as diet, but more importantly I learned how to deal with stress and my spiritual life continues to grow. I can truly say that cancer enriched my life. Over the years, I have counseled with many patients as they struggle with this dreaded disease. My hope is that by putting my thoughts in book form it will be helpful to a wider audience. All of us need help on our journey through life. It can be one of anger, bitterness, despair and self-pity or it can be a life of joy, forgiveness, of reaching out to others with love, and gratitude for our blessings.
