N2  - Cancer can leave you feeling vulnerable and despairing, filled with anger and frustration, and perhaps fearful of its outcome. This books doesn't offer a cure or a false promise - but it does give you practical and emotional approaches to living your life, and ideas that might help you navigate both the best and worse times. It shows ways in which mindfulness can help you to ease, or cope with, cancer symptoms, and takes you step by step through a number of different practices and guided meditations. Topics include: coping with the diagnosis, and treatment of cancer; what mindfulness is and how it can help; coping in the aftermath of treatment; managing pain, sleep and exercise; self-care and how to do it; the role of gratitude. Although you can't turn the clock back to your pre-cancer years, or know what the future will hold, Cheryl Rezek's book will help you to stay focussed on the present moment and live your life with truth and knowledge that you're doing so.
