Our Journey with Prostate Cancer

"Your spirit is your most important personal weapon in the battle with cancer!" Writing from the unique perspective of an oncology social worker, a holistic psychotherapist, and the wife of a patient with high-risk prostate cancer Judith Desjardins shares the intimate details of their journey and the empowering strategies she devised to turn a pessimistic prognosis into improbable, positive, and hopeful results. This book is a firsthand picture of the emotional and psychological toll that prostate cancer takes on patients and their loved ones, and shows how it affects them on the inside-the mind, emotions, and spirit. It is her firm belief that understanding and treating these dimensions of the disease as well as the body, in a holistic approach,can lead to a better prognosis for the prostate cancer patient-and that it can also prevent family caretakers from developing their own medical problems due to stress.
