Research confirms that writing about upsetting experiences can result in improvement in the function of one's immune system. Since a strong immune system is a foundation for successful cancer treatment, thousands of cancer patients today can benefit from the journal writing techniques and inspiration offered in this comforting yet nonsentimental guidebook. It is useful to anyone who faces a personal health crisis or anyone who wishes to confront grief, loss or present reality without panic, fear or confusion. Today people from all walks of life -- from poets and monks to homemakers and politicians -- practice journal writing as a means of achieving equilibrium and clarity in all aspects of their life. Writing Your Way Through Cancer speaks to all in a voice that is at once encouraging, compassionate and uncompromising, inviting readers to use writing for self-understanding, acceptance, healing and, ultimately, spiritual transformation. |
