The founder of the Cancer Recovery Foundation presents an essential guide to facing breast cancer with a combination of healing tactics.

With so many options out there, it’s difficult to know the best option for you. This is where an integrated approach comes in. By using a variety of tools, you maximize opportunity for healing. As a recognized pioneer in the field of integrated cancer care, Greg Anderson offers critical information and advice about the major issues facing breast cancer patients. As someone who has been a cancer patient himself, he also knows the emotional turmoil and stress a diagnosis can cause. Because of this, he guides readers toward making a concrete, comprehensive recovery plan that combines nutrition, exercise, mind/body approaches, and social support along with conventional medical care.

Integrative Oncology (IO) is an evolving evidence-informed field of medicine with little high-quality professional literature currently available to support clinical practice. This book provides a robust introduction to integrative oncology and a practical toolkit for clinicians working with breast cancer patients. Breast cancer is the commonest cancer in women globally with growing incidence, and breast cancer patients are the most frequent users of integrative oncology practices. This book addresses the whole person journey from prevention, to diagnosis, treatment and survivorship. The approaches and tools discussed can help guide clinicians on how to support better quality of life, improve patient resilience, minimise the side effects of treatment and optimise clinical outcomes for people impacted by breast cancer. Healthcare professionals are asking for further education on Integrative Oncology, as evidenced by the BSIO (British Society for Integrative Oncology) survey results, webinars and conference engagements. Our growing BSIO membership highlights the need to educate and train healthcare professionals, and this book is written by clinicians for clinicians.
