“If I want to be well, I’ve got to take charge of my own body and decide what I want for treatments. I know my body better than anyone else on the planet.” – Sandi Rog
Cancer sneaks up on a lot of people. Too many people in today’s world get diagnosed with cancer.
I’m helping friends and family in their personal learning quests and their healing journeys to fight cancer.
It can be overwhelming, so I’m sharing the books that I found the most useful. I don’t get caught up in the agendas or biases. I look for real stories, real results, insights, inspiration, and interesting perspectives.
By going across several books on cancer, health, and healing, I hope to gain a broader perspective, new ideas, fresh thinking, and a better balcony view of what’s available in the world today.
