Many books about breast cancer have been published. Some of them are written in a scientific style by surgeons or oncologists dwelling on the causes and the medical treatments of the disease, while others are testimonies from patients who recover from the illness. With Another Way to Live Breast Cancer, surgeon and psychotherapist Thierry Janssen follows more than 20 women from the diagnosis to the healing of their disease. Divided into five sections, the book offers very important answers about the origin of breast tumors and the role that psychological factors play in the genesis of cancer. It also helps to resolve the relationships which are sometimes difficult between the patient and her partner, children, parents, friends or employer. Putting emphasis on the fact that stress reduction may help to heal the disease, Thierry Janssen advises the patients to clarify their relationship with the medical team and, when necessary, to turn to complementary or alternative medical practitioners.

Another Way to Live Breast Cancer provides many tips in order to reduce the side effects of conventional medical treatments. Moreover, recalling that each crisis is an opportunity to grow, the book takes the reader into a real psycho-spiritual journey. It explains in a clear and enjoyable manner the keys to body-mind healing. It constitutes a new, highly sensitive and integrative approach to one of the most prevalent cancers. Above all, it serves as a message of hope for the many women who suffer or fear to suffer from the disease.
