"The stories told here provide the reader with a multifaceted view of living with (and dying from) cancer. Patients, friends and family, and health care professionals will find stories and concepts with which they can identify. Furthermore, patients may gain courage and strength from reading the experiences of others. This work introduces the reader to mechanisms to cope with a cancer diagnosis. It is truly empowering. I personally feel privileged to get to know some of the patients cared for by Dr. DeShazo and his team. I will recommend this book to my patients and to other doctors."

"RENEWAL: FINDING YOUR PATH TO SELF-HEALING IN CANCER is a remarkable book by a magnificent physician about ordinary individuals who encountered life-and-death health challenges. In their stories you'll see that hope and dignity are always possible, no matter how great the odds, and you find practical ways to find healing and wholeness of body, mind, and spirit. Either you or someone you know will need the wisdom in these pages. My suggestion: Buy two copies -- one for you and one for your doctor."
