An extraordinary blueprint for maximizing cancer survival

In Staying Alive, Dr. Brenda Hunter gives cancer patients an extraordinary blueprint for maximizing their chances of surviving cancer. As a stage 3B lung cancer survivor, I employed many of these strategies 14 years ago. But I had to read multiple books to find many of them and Dr. Hunter offers such insightful, educated advice beyond what I understood at that time. I still find her book helpful in my efforts to stay well. And what a gift for those going through the experience now to have such good information all in one book. Dr. Hunter's experience as a Ph.D., a cancer survivor and a Christian give her a perspective few authors of books on cancer, no matter how well intentioned, can provide. I really love this book. As I use my cancer experience to help others who are now beginning their cancer journey, Staying Alive is at the top of my recommended list of "must reads". Anyone with cancer seriously looking for ways to contribute to their own wellness will benefit from reading this book.
