One woman’s story of courage and choice – and a powerful case for changing the way breast cancer is currently treated.
In the United Kingdom, breast cancer affects one in nine women. But we treat it with a one-size-fits-all approach that all too often falls fatally short. Janet Edwards shares her own story and makes an impassioned argument for change, both in the politics of health care and in the life of every woman.
Janet Edwards was told she had breast cancer in 2001. After surgery she quickly realized that the follow-up treatments of chemotherapy and radiotherapy could be seriously harmful to the rest of her life. Choosing to Heal charts her journey of inquiry, intensive research and the ultimate discovery of her quest for a more sustainable solution: a nurturing blend of conventional and complementary medicine that honours the subtle intelligence of the body and restores its fine balance with the mind and spirit. The result is an enlightening, empowering reminder that health is more than the absence of disease – and a wake-up call for every woman to take charge of her own well-being.
