Editorial Review:
Upon learning that her breast cancer had spread to her liver, Carol Silverander was given a three percent chance of beating the disease, and was told she would probably live for just two years. This is the story of how she came to think about cancer in a different way, and discovered an innovative form of treatment that had been pioneered by two remarkable physicians in France. She beat the odds and, in the process, learned what every cancer patient should know-that they are always their own best advocate. In this book she takes readers through every stage of her journey, giving them the benefit of her hard earned knowledge in a thorough and easy-to-understand way. Perhaps most importantly, she sheds light on a new and scientifically sound way of looking at and treating disease-one that has profound implications for those suffering from any type of cancer or other degenerative pathology.

Rating: - Alternative Treatment, With a Complementary Approach Deserves Your Attention!
I read this book to gain insight into what it is like to live with advanced breast cancer. It has given me a new-found empathy. The author writes in an open and extremely honest way that is both informative and enlightening. Her tone is positive and encouraging. This book stresses the importance of being involved in one's medical decisions and challenges patients to educate themselves from a variety of sources. I think this empowerment concept can be applied to many medical conditions people face. ... Read More
Rating: - Best I've ever read

Rating: - A must read!
This beautifully written book is a tremendous help for cancer patients, family and friends of cancer patients, and anyone interested in good health. Carol's courageous attitude is an inspiration to all. You will not be disappointed with this book!
Rating: - Great Resource for Someone Diagnosed With Stage 3-4 BC
I don't normally write reviews, but this book warrants one wholeheartedly. My mother was recently diagnosed with Stage 3 BC and I bought the book for myself, with the intent to read a patient's own life story and learn more about alternative treatments. I read the book in one sitting and immediately sent it off to my mother. It has been a source of TREMENDOUS comfort to her because this book is like having a friend who's 'been there' and makes everything just a little less scary because she's read ... Read More
Rating: - A "must read" for cancer patients and those close to them
This book would not only be a very informative read for any woman dealing with breast cancer, but truly would be helpful to nearly any cancer patient. The author has written the book from her perspective and experiences with advanced breast cancer, but she touches on issues that many cancer patients face (the initial shock of diagnosis, the disparity in examination and treatment thoroughness among doctors, chemotherapy, decision making and long-term treatment options, alternative treatments, etc.). ...
