Cancer, a creeping,
growing, silent shadow, an indiscriminate killer that stalks
without soul. It follows no rules, leaves devastation in its
path. Dr. Bob Rich has gathered a team of experts. Experts whose
knowledge comes from study and research, battle scarred veterans
who have fought the beast from within, and those who fought
beside them. Scientists, doctors, teachers, researchers,
survivors, and those left behind share knowledge, information,
resources, battle strategies and techniques, stories, and support
in "Cancer: A Personal Challenge."
"Slow Dance"
a poem from a terminally ill child, a fictional story here and
there, personal stories of battles to survive the beast and the
devastation and loss it leaves in its wake are sprinkled through
the chapters of information and resources to assist you in making
informed decisions and research into strategies to help build
healthy life choice defences against attack, and to build your
own plans of attack. Motivation, inner healing power,
determination, attitude, diet and life style changes, counselling
and spiritual care, medical treatment options, nursing and
therapies, all are explored, explained and addressed in easily
understood language.
"Cancer: A
Personal Challenge" offers no one answer, but it does offer
many. And in a time when our technology and lifestyles feed and
fuel the growth of this threat to humanity, knowledge,
information, resources and support offer the best defence. This
book explores the physical, mental, and spiritual challenges of
this demon destroyer, and it offers strategies and techniques to
develop your "power of three" into a weapon of
strength. Professionals who study and battle and treat it,
explore and explain causes and treatments and techniques.
Sufferers and survivors, care providers, family and friends share
their stories, their pain, their loss, their hope. This book is
for everyone, everyone who studies, treats, suffers, battles, and
everyone who cares.

Cancer: A Personal Challenge, edited by
Bob Rich, Ph.D.
Cancer is frightening.
Dealing with it doesn't have to be. In 'Cancer: A Personal
Challenge', individuals share their stories and experiences about
handling cancer themselves, or how their loved ones handled it.
Cancer is a devastating disease, but it doesn't have to rob an
individual of their dignity, self-respect, living conditions, and
getting on with their lives unless the individual gives in to the
disease and the pain.
'Cancer: A Personal
Challenge' isn't just a testimonial to those who survived the
disease, but provides information and instruction on how to
prevent and work with the cancer once the individual is diagnosed
with it. Knowledge is power. Power over the disease is learning
how to overcome the pain and even slow down the growth of the
cancer cells. Breathing techniques, chronic pain and
self-hypnosis exercises are provided for those individuals
interested in improving and extending the quality and length of
their lives with cancer -- from their chronic pain -- from their
disabilities -- from any illness that lessens your life
expectancy.
I recommend 'Cancer: A
Personal Challenge', edited by Bob Rich, Ph.D. to everyone who
has a family member, friend or even an enemy with cancer, or who
cares for an individual with cancer. The book is especially for
an individual diagnosed with cancer. It is never too late.

Cancer: A Personal
Challenge is both a guide and an inspirational resource for those
dealing with cancer. This book contains four parts: There is
Hope, The Facts, Living With It, and Tools For Fighting Back. The
first and third parts of this book are composed of stories
written by those touched by cancer. These accounts express the
frustration, anger, pain, guilt, defensiveness, anxiety, and
self-pity that are felt by those suffering from this disease and
those that love them. At the same though, these narratives
illustrate inner strength, courage, and the healing power of love
and hope.
The second and forth
part of this book are much more technical and scientific in
nature. The second section explains the technical aspects of the
various types of cancer and states the statistical survival rates
of such. This information reiterates the importance of early
detection and the value of stating personal end of life care
wishes.
The final portion of
this work is also very detailed. This section examines the
various alterative and holistic therapies for cancer. In
particular, this section looks at the connection between
psychological processes and the immune system; the role of stress
in reducing and fighting various forms of the disease; and the
benefits of meditation, guided visual imagery, and hypnosis in
reducing pain and fear associated with cancer.
