This is a very helpful resource for those who want to know more about traditional and alternative treatments. The author was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1990 and underwent surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. She also availed herself of the services of a transpersonal counselor, a nutritionist, a shamanic healer, and a naturopath. Ploski's highly informative interviews with these practitioners and her doctors make this book so distinctive. Hopefully, more people in the future will realize that healing is a holistic affair in which body, mind, and spirit must all be engaged.
