Surviving Cancerland
Intuitive Aspects of Healing
by Kathleen O’Keefe-Kanavos
“Surviving Cancerland” Book Review
Surviving Cancerland is Kathleen O’Keefe-Kanavos’ account of how she learned to stand in her power and speak her truth during a life crisis by connecting with her physician-within through dreams, meditations, and prayer. Believing in her intuition, Kathleen used it to self-advocate a course of cancer treatment in her healing process, often needing to persuade her doctors to cooperate with her. “Don’t tell your Higher Power how big your problems are,” Kathleen says. “Tell your problems how big your Higher Power is!”
Kathleen believes you should work with your doctors, financiers, coworkers, bosses, and family, but never forget that you must make the final decisions. She hopes her story can help you make better choices, live a more fulfilling life, and discover your destiny.

I think receiving this book would be particularly meaningful to me, as I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer to the bone just a few weeks ago after having completed primary treatment in November 2013. When you are in Stage IV, with no hope of a cure, surviving day to day takes on an entirely new dimension.

Would love to add this to my reads. Just in recovery from surgery and chemo from lobular breast cancer and will be going through radiation in 4 weeks. Emotional roller coaster I was given the all clear last week but still dealing with all the effects emotional and physically And worrying about radiation. Having so many side effects is overwhelming at times. But onwards and upwards x

Hi Donna, Congratulations on getting the all clear. Your roller-coaster ride is coming to an end. The side effects from the chemo and surgery will diminish and one day they will just be gone. Radiation is going to be so easy compared to what you have already gone through. I hope Surviving Cancerland will be a great help to you. Thank you for your comment.

Vicki, the journey down the Rabbit Hole of Cancerland is confusing but knowing someone else made it BACK UP is comforting. Our dreams can be doorways that lead us to the path back up. We just have to learn our own dream-language to understand the directions. My fingers are crossed for you on winning this book. Thanks for your comment.

This sounds like a good read for me. From diagnosis to the end of chemo I was in survivor mode. Once that part was over I was overwhelmingly left with fear, sadness, grief and all the other emotions that ride the cancer train. Thank you for featuring this book on your website.
