Nena O'Neill's book is that rare combination of how-to and mesmerizing personal experience that reads like a detective story, but is full of practical advice and tips on how to co-manage your medical fate. Divided into three parts: Diagnosis, Treatment and Recovery, the book will help almost anyone with a serious medical diagnosis. Through her own experience with a rare cancer, the author shows you why she did it and how she did it, from such helpful information as notebooks and how to do research to the use of music and having a Healing Circle. By example this book details step by step what goes into making a critical decision about your treatment plans. After treatment, Stand Up For Your Life will guide you through the many pathways to recovery, both traditional and non-traditional. Uplifting and positive, this author shows us how psychological and spiritual attitudes can help you recover with glowing colors.
