In Facing Cancer and the Fear of Death: A Psychoanalytic Perspective on Treatment, Dr. Norman Straker proposes that "death anxiety" is responsible for the American society's failure to address costly futile care at the end of life; more specifically, doctors default on the appropriate prescription of palliative care because of this anxiety. This leads to unnecessary suffering for terminally-ill patients and their families and significant distress for physicians. To address these challenges in the culture of medical education, increased psychological support for physicians who treat dying patients is necessary. Additionally, physicians need to reach a consensus regarding the discontinuation of active treatments. Psychoanalysts have traditionally denied the importance of death anxiety and report relatively few treatment cases of dying patients in their literature. This book offers multiple treatment reports by psychoanalysts that illustrate the effectiveness and value of a flexible approach to patients facing death. The psychoanalytic reader is expected to gain a greater level of comfort with facing death and is encouraged to consider making themselves more available to the ever-increasing population of cancer survivors. Further, psychoanalysts are encouraged to be more useful partners to the oncologists that are burdened by the irrational feelings of all parties.

Facing Cancer with CHRIST! is a journey of my life as I faced those dreaded words: "You have cancer!" This book will carry you down the road of all those negative thoughts that invade the mind and spirit. It will point out the fear factor, yet there is a power that is at our grips that can overcome that fear. It will focus on having faith when there is doubt. It will point that death is apparent, but that the end destination is such a reward that life will only feel temporary. This book will provide humor, reality, and yet all the ingredients of hope and assurance that only God can provide. It is my earnest prayer that it will encourage you in all areas of life that you will face when faced with the C-word. Just remember, Christ had victory over death at the cross, and He provides us all that we need when faced with this horrific illness. And if you have never accepted Christ as your personal savior, within this book, there is a path to salvation that will lead you to the foot of the cross where Christ stands waiting to receive you. Facing Cancer with CHRIST! was written to provide you and others hope when life seems overwhelming. It is designed to build trust when you feel alone. But most of all, it was written to build your faith that God will never forsake you even till the end of time.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! "I had the choice to come back ... or not. I chose to return when I realized that 'heaven' is a state, not a place" In this truly inspirational memoir, Anita Moorjani relates how, after fighting cancer for almost four years, her body began shutting down—overwhelmed by the malignant cells spreading throughout her system. As her organs failed, she entered into an extraordinary near-death experience where she realized her inherent worth . . . and the actual cause of her disease. Upon regaining consciousness, Anita found that her condition had improved so rapidly that she was released from the hospital within weeks—without a trace of cancer in her body! Within this enhanced e-book, Anita recounts—in words and on video—stories of her childhood in Hong Kong, her challenge to establish her career and find true love, as well as how she eventually ended up in that hospital bed where she defied all medical knowledge. In "Dying to Be Me," Anita Freely shares all she has learned about illness, healing, fear, "being love," and the true magnificence of each and every human being!

Fighting cancer is a battle. If we have confidence in ourselves and can overcome the fear of death, and are willing to do whatever it takes, we will win the battle. This survivor guide is my personal experience with three occurrences of diagnoses, treatments and recovery in the last twenty years. It proves that being diagnosed with cancer is not the end of the world. Survivorship is real. The purpose of this guide is to empower people with confidence facing cancer. A lot of time, people is scared to death when they hear the word, cancer. People see many patients die after treatment. That's because chemo kills cancer cells and also kills the good cells. Getting the treatment is just half the way; removing chemo inside the body is the other half. When both procure is complete, our body is able to heal and recover. Our confidence is from fully understanding the what, why and how about cancer treatment. When our confidence is established, we can get the proper treatment, undergo body detoxification and let the body heal and recover. We also need to have regular maintenance works such as body detoxification, meditation, keep up regular exercise and eat balanced foods every day. Our healthy life is foreseen and possible.

"How do I deal with this fear?" You've just learned that you have cancer. Once the shock wears off, your new reality sets in. The fear is overwhelming. You're reminded over and over again that you need to have a positive attitude. You put on a brave face and try to think positively. But, fearing the worst, it's nearly impossible. It Begins with Belief challenges the idea that you must simply think positively and offers a more practical approach to dealing with your fear. This book will: * Provide a step-by-step roadmap to overcoming your fear. * Address difficult questions such as, "If all I can think about is dying, isn't that what will happen?" and "How can I be optimistic when I'm consumed by uncertainty?" * Help you get to the root of your fear by exploring your beliefs about cancer, healing, and love. * Show you how to challenge your fear-based beliefs and create new, empowering beliefs based on fact. * Prove this truth: If your body creates cancer, it can heal cancer, too! It's not about thinking positively. It's about believing positively! Sound impossible? This book will show you how. "With Jill's intelligence, compassion, and medical knowledge, she was the perfect survivor mentor. She has taken the stories and insights and written a factual, but uplifting book that will help cancer survivors and caregivers, alike." Kristy Zane, American Cancer Society, Reach to Recovery Coordinator A word from the Author: When you hear the words, "You have cancer," it's normal to feel afraid. Faced with a serious illness, fear represents your very strong instinct to survive. However, if you don't consciously address your fear, it can create feelings of deep hopelessness. Feeling hopeless is extremely painful. I know this because I have been in those shoes. Eleven years ago, I was diagnosed with an aggressive recurrence of breast cancer. More than anything else--the chemo, the side effects, and the loss of my breasts and hair--my greatest struggle was dealing with the fear. When you are very scared and convinced that things "don't look good," the idea of overcoming your fear may seem impossible. My mission is to show you that it absolutely can be done. Whether you follow the guidance in my book, It Begins with Belief, or reach out for one-on-one coaching, I am confident that I can help you. I will guide you through a practical, step-by-step process that will change what you believe is possible with real facts and actions. Together, we will create new experiences, beliefs, and expectations that will give you real hope. Remember, it's not about thinking positively. It's about the power of believing positively! About the Author: Jill earned her doctorate in chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic-West and her board certification in family practice from the University of California, Davis-FNP/PA Program. Jill's greatest passion is showing her patients how to take control and find real hope, even when faced with a life-threatening diagnosis. She has had the pleasure of helping many people through her medical practice, and as a volunteer for the American Cancer Society's Reach to Recovery program, a support program for women who are newly diagnosed with breast cancer. Jill currently devotes her time to coaching cancer survivors using the principles of It Begins with Belief. Please visit Jill at http://jillringer.com.

Millions of people alive today have faced a diagnosis of cancer. Some of them are newly diagnosed or are undergoing treatment. After a diagnosis of cancer, one may feel shock, disbelief, fear, anxiety, guilt, sadness, depression, and anger. Each person may experience some or all of these feelings. People with cancer typically feel the sooner they get rid of the cancer, the better. They may feel rushed to make decisions. People facing cancer often find themselves facing the possibility of their own death. At first, some focus on dying from cancer instead of living with cancer. This new book presents research issues on this topic.

Cancer touches everybody’s life in one way or another. But most of us know very little about how the disease works, why we treat it the way we do, and the personalities whose dedication got us where we are today. For fifty years, Dr. Vincent T. DeVita Jr. has been one of those key players: he has held just about every major position in the field, and he developed the first successful chemotherapy treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a breakthrough the American Society of Clinical Oncologists has called the top research advance in half a century of chemotherapy. As one of oncology’s leading figures, DeVita knows what cancer looks like from the lab bench and the bedside. The Death of Cancer is his illuminating and deeply personal look at the science and the history of one of the world’s most formidable diseases. In DeVita’s hands, even the most complex medical concepts are comprehensible. Cowritten with DeVita’s daughter, the science writer Elizabeth DeVita-Raeburn, The Death of Cancer is also a personal tale about the false starts and major breakthroughs, the strong-willed oncologists who clashed with conservative administrators (and one another), and the courageous patients whose willingness to test cutting-edge research helped those oncologists find potential treatments. An emotionally compelling and informative read, The Death of Cancer is also a call to arms. DeVita believes that we’re well on our way to curing cancer but that there are things we need to change in order to get there. Mortality rates are declining, but America’s cancer patients are still being shortchanged—by timid doctors, by misguided national agendas, by compromised bureaucracies, and by a lack of access to information about the strengths and weaknesses of the nation’s cancer centers. With historical depth and authenticity, DeVita reveals the true story of the fight against cancer. The Death of Cancer is an ambitious, vital book about a life-and-death subject that touches us all.

Cancer care today often provides state-of-the-science biomedical treatment, but fails to address the psychological and social (psychosocial) problems associated with the illness. This failure can compromise the effectiveness of health care and thereby adversely affect the health of cancer patients. Psychological and social problems created or exacerbated by cancer--including depression and other emotional problems; lack of information or skills needed to manage the illness; lack of transportation or other resources; and disruptions in work, school, and family life--cause additional suffering, weaken adherence to prescribed treatments, and threaten patients' return to health. Today, it is not possible to deliver high-quality cancer care without using existing approaches, tools, and resources to address patients' psychosocial health needs. All patients with cancer and their families should expect and receive cancer care that ensures the provision of appropriate psychosocial health services. Cancer Care for the Whole Patient recommends actions that oncology providers, health policy makers, educators, health insurers, health planners, researchers and research sponsors, and consumer advocates should undertake to ensure that this standard is met.
