Stories
Of Hope - From The Cancer Clinic
Sequel to the bestselling “Doctor I Have Cancer. Can You Help
Me?”
These are true stories told by the patients, doctors and counsellors
of the Parkway Cancer Centre (PCC) who have undertaken the challenging
journey against cancer. Cancer is one of the most devastating diseases
worldwide. The top five most common types are lung, breast, colorectal,
stomach and liver cancer. Around the world, more than 10 million people
are diagnosed with cancer each year. However, with advances in cancer
treatments, those affected can take heart in knowing that they can
be successfully cured.
Words of advice and hope take on a more intense meaning when they
come from those who have been diagnosed with cancer, and have gone
through cycles of treatment, remission and recurrence of the disease.
With professional help and counselling, and the support of family
members, many of them have beaten the odds to become cancer survivors.
These stories of hope will inspire everyone, whether they are cancer
patients, their families or their friends. |

The
Atlas of Mind, Body and Spirit
by Paul Hougham
"The
Gaia Atlas of Mind, Body and Spirit" is a ground-breaking reference
guide to how societies throughout the world and over time have seen
our physical and energetic bodies. Organized according to culture,
this book discusses modern and ancient approaches, including the
Western view of the body, the Indian Chakra system and the Chinese
Jing Luo, or meridian maps of acupuncture. This book goes further
than other books, however, as it connects the approaches and shows
the importance of viewing them as a continuum in order to understand
how our bodies work and humanity in general. |
