TAKING CHARGE OF FIGHTING CANCER is a short, easy, interactive workbook that contains everything a patient needs to know about dealing with the psychological aspects of cancer. The workbook includes 7 chapters which can be read in any order. Each chapter has several easy exercises that readers can do at their own pace and in any order. While other books talk about the importance of imagery to fight cancer, this book shows you what to do and how to order or download an audio CD that is full of healing imagery. The CD was written by the author to accompany this book, and it is recorded in her own voice. If you or someone you know suffers from cancer, this workbook and CD will send a message of hope and empowerment.

According to Carolyn S. Garwood, Ph.D., Professor Emerita, Counseling Psychology at the University of Miami, this books ...unique blend of warm, personal approach with accurate and up-to-date medical and psychosocial information will make it an invaluable tool not only for cancer patients, but for family, friends, caretakers and others working toward the most effective integrative interventions.
