Book Overview

The reason why clinical science has not solved the riddle of cancer may not lie totally within the realm of the laboratory. It may lie in part in the mind and emotions of the patient.

After two decades of research and psychotherapeutic work with cancer patients, Lawrence LeShan offers new evidence and startling insights into why some individuals get cancer while others do not--and why some are able to fight successfully for their lives while others rapidly succumb to the disease. Dr. LeShan has accumulated strong evidence that the mind can make the body receptive to cancer--and that the mind is also capable of fighting back.

This is a book of hope. For while cancer kills, it can also be killed. You Can Fight For Your Life is a major humanistic work by an author with a passionate commitment to life.

You can Fight for Your Life review

This book is one used by a dear friend who had 30 days to live 18 years ago. He works with cancer patients and their families. He recommends this book. I bought 3 copies in order to pass them on to people who might need them. I have been reading it and have found the advice to be excellent. I would recommend it to anyone on the cancer journey.
