I'd love to hear recommendations for books you've found inspiring or informative - so that when I don't feel well enough to get off the couch but feel well enough to read I have something worth reading.
Here's one I thought was great: The Journey Through Cancer: Healing and Transforming the Whole Person
http://www.amazon.com/Journey-Through-Cancer-Healing-Transforming/dp/030734 181X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1244746818&sr=1-1
It outlines 7 stages of healing, ranging from medical to emotional to spiritual, and strikes a reasonable balance balance between standard treatment and complementary alternative treatments (the author is an MD who's studied Eastern healing practices, including Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine). Unlike some of the books and websites I've been reading, it's presented in a way that's easy to digest - I read it in a day. I'd recommend it for anyone with cancer, especially those who could benefit from chemo and/or radiation but would prefer a more "natural" approach or who are scared that chemo sounds too toxic. If you'd like to get a sense of the book, go to the author's website, which has overviews, sample chapters, author interviews, etc.
