Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Survivors from all walks of life talk about what “living strong” in the face of cancer means to them. Since the now ubiquitous LIVESTRONG™ wristbands became available in May 2004, the Lance Armstrong Foundation has raised more than $50 million for cancer survivorship programs, and the signature phrase has become a battle cry for those who fight the disease every day. Now, the Lance Armstrong Foundation has compiled, from hours of videotaped interviews, poignant and dramatic personal accounts from cancer survivors. Covering a wide range of subjects, from grief to spousal relationships, employment discrimination to coping with medical bills, infertility to fear of recurrence, survivors share their experiences and speak candidly about how cancer has impacted their lives. For twenty-four-year-old Amy it’s how her illness changed her relationship with her parents. Mike, a male survivor of breast cancer, talks about gender stereotypes and genetic testing. And Eric, the father of a five-year-old survivor of a brain tumor, recalls how friends and strangers helped his family with financial issues and how the experience brought him and his wife closer together. While heartbreaking at times, these powerfully honest stories are ultimately uplifting and extremely reassuring to patients and their families. They offer the wisdom and hope that only survivors can give. LiveStrong is a remarkable testament to the resilience of the human spirit. From the introduction by Lance Armstrong: My work with the LAF shows me daily that sharing our stories and learning from one another’s experiences helps us cancer survivors continue to survive. Some people think the cancer experience is only about the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, as if after the disease goes into remission, it no longer exists. But survivorship goes beyond remission. Survivorship is an evolution.

This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A must-read book for anyone who is going through cancer treatment and the people who care about them, as well as cancer survivors and those who are interested in living a long life without cancer. It has been said that “aging is a major carcinogen!” Why is aging such a threat to you getting cancer? It’s pretty simple—the longer you live, the more errors your genes accumulate from infections and environmental carcinogens as well as a decline in your cancer-fighting immunity and frequent stress response. Over time, these mutations are duplicated repeatedly as your cells divide and it’s easy to see how it can eventually lead to cancer. If you desire to prevent cancer in your lifetime or perhaps you are currently battling cancer, you must start working on your healthy-aging program today. In Live Long, Live Strong: An Integrative Approach to Cancer Care and Prevention, Dr. Mao shares his 30 plus years of experience in integrative oncology—working collaboratively with oncologists and thousands of cancer patients. Now in this groundbreaking book, with his associate Frances Lam, L.Ac. at the Tao of Wellness, they provide an overview of the latest information on the causes and mechanism behind cancer, current diagnostics as well as cutting edge treatments in conventional oncology and the collaborative model of care between Eastern and Western medicine. The authors present evidence-based treatment modalities, including acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, diet and nutrition, mind-body practice of qi gong and meditation that have been used effectively to reduce side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, boost energy and vitality, and restore healthy functions in patients’ immune system. Equally important, the book reveals preventive steps everyone can take to lower his or her lifetime cancer risks as well as decrease recurrence rate for cancer survivors. In addition, they share stories of some of their patients’ cancer journey in the hopes of inspiring the most important healing power within—the human spirit!
