"An outstanding contribution to the international debate over
breast cancer. Women Confront Cancer not only focuses on exciting
new non-conventional treatment options, but allows outspoken women
cancer patients to describe their experiences and ordeals in their
own words. A landmard in the struggle for patient autonomy."
--"Ralph Moss, Ph.D., author of The Cancer Industry"
"Without telling us what we ought to do, these women make it
clear what we can do: Remember that miracles do occur and that no
one, not even orthodox medicine, has all the answers."
--"Susun S. Weed, author of Breast Cancer? Breast Health!, The Wise
Woman Way."
"Women Confront Cancer offers more than case stories of hope
triumphing over despair, more than options, alternatives and
resources. Its message about individuality, empowerment and
leadership makes it must reading for every woman diagnosed with
cancer. Its quiet demand for medical freedom of choice and for a
patient-driven shift in oncologic policy should be heard by every
professional in the cancer field. If ever there was a time for this
book, it is now."
--"Susan Silberstein, Ph.D., Executive Director of the Center for
Advancement in Cancer Education"
Each year hundreds of thousands of women are diagnosed with
cancer, and more and more frequently, women are turning to
alternative treatments to take control of their illnesses and their
lives. Information, however, has been scarce for women navigating
through conventional and unconventional medicine. Research funding
continues to support traditional cancer therapies. Women Confront
Cancer declares the need for new, less toxic therapies and
diagnostic procedures.
For the first time, WomenConfront Cancer unites the voices of
women leaders who have breast, cervical, ovarian, and other
cancers. Documenting the decision process, the choices, and the
dilemmas these women faced as they chose alternative and
complementary cancer treatments, a powerful unity emerges, pointing
the way to the future of the diagnosis and treatment of cancer by
less toxic methods. Ann Frahm, the author of "A Cancer Battle
Plan," Susan Moss, the author of "Keep Your Breasts," and Cathy
Hitchcock, coauthor of "Breast Cancer," are only three of the
leaders who relate their personal experiences with cancer. All of
the women featured in Women Confront Cancer share how and why they
created treatment programs that combine the best of conventional
and unconventional approaches, and how it has improved their health
and their lives.
A call for patients' rights, for policy reform in cancer
research, for better information about both conventional and
alternative medicine, Women Confront Cancer will be both a source
of inspiration for women who have cancer and an aid for them in
creating their own approach to healing.
