The Cancer Conqueror

This modern-day inspirational parable shows how a positive attitude and a hopeful spirit affects cancer and even contributes to its cure. The reader is taken on a step-by-step transformation from despair to hope and left with the uplifting message that this is the moment they can create wellness of body, mind and spirit.

For more than a decade, Greg Anderson's The Cancer Conqueror has been helping cancer patients take control of their disease and their lives. Told as a modern-day parable, the book traces one patient's journey from the fear, futility, and grief felt upon first hearing a cancer diagnosis to the calm, focused, accepting outlook of a Cancer Conqueror. The story encourages a step-by-step transformation from despair to hope, and carries the empowering message that people can choose to be fully alive-even with a cancer diagnosis. In Journeys with the Cancer Conqueror Anderson has expotentially expanded his groundbreaking book to become an even more important companion to cancer patients. Most significantly, he has added an extensive series of interactive exercises that help the reader achieve greater self-knowledge and a heightened sense of personal empowerment-critically important elements of the holistic healing process. The Cancer Conqueror has helped patients and family members through some of the most difficult times in their lives, and Journeys with the Cancer Conqueror will continue to do so for years to come.

He realizes that life minus a few organs isn?t all that bad.
