520 # # |a 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.
