I have just now joined the goodreads community and this is one of the books imported from my amazon list. It has been a while since I read this book but the research that is being done on enhancing immune system response in the fight against cancer sounds to me like one of the most promising prospects.
My niece had cancer and I was doing research to look for a way out. This book was well worth the read if you have an interest in this field of research for whatever the reason.

This book turned out to be a fascinating and encouraging read! I have found myself recommending this book or sharing its quotes and stories frequently. If you enjoy learning more about how our brains/bodies work this is a fun read. If you have a chronic illness or support someone who does this is a helpful read full of hope!

Good information, and good things to keep in mind for those who work with illness, or those struggling with chronic ilness, both physical AND mental.
