About the book >.>.> Western medicine has made great strides in treating many kinds of cancer. Powerful new drugs have been developed that kill cancer cells. Surgical techniques have been refined making it possible to cut out many kinds of cancer. As a result a huge number of people are surviving cancer. While western medicine has had many successes in dealing with cancer itself it does not focus on the person. By concen- trating solely on the disease it tends to miss the human being involved. It does not attempt to sustain people through the har- rowing process of diagnosis treatment and recovery. It does not equip people to face the challenging issues that a cancer diagno- sis brings. There is a need for something more in our approach to cancer. The Chinese approach is the perfect complement to ortho- dox treatment. It focuses on the whole person and seeks to sus- tain her on the journey through cancer and beyond. It attempts to strengthen the body and to nurture the spirit giving renewed vitality and hope. The following comments give a flavour of how some of my patients have experienced Chinese medicine. (LL)
