I'm hell-bent on healthy living. These days, when my mind is not engaged in learning how I can fight off disease, I am scared. When I'm scared I don't take a full breath. In this state it hurts to breathe deeply. So, to fend off recurrence fear death spirals (think fighter pilot spiraling toward earth) I keep my mind busy.
My mind is not easily diverted from fear however. I have started, literally, 10-15 books in the past couple months. Haven't gotten more than a few chapters into any of them. What a waste of money.
That is until a few days ago. I found of book that is quenching my thirst for knowledge. You know when you find a book that connects to the very core of your beliefs? You want everyone to read it. Especially the people you can't live without. Please read this book. Anticancer - A new way of life. If you have cancer, someone you love has cancer, or you are even mildly concerned about you or a loved one getting cancer (that should include all of you) do me a favor and read it.
About Me

- This blog begins a couple months after I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Its best read from those early days to today. Click on the February link above to start from the beginning. My hope is to help others who are diagnosed. I understand your fear and trepidation of treatment and coming to grips with a dramatically changed future. Maybe reading another's story of moving through fear and despair toward acceptance and peace will help you by seeing that you are not alone with your battle. Email me at lpacemissoula@hotmail.com or post here if I can answer any questions or if you need support. I would be honored to help you.
