Where the Mind Goes
Ruth Levine
|
In January, 2006, after having just completed a master's in occupational therapy, Ruth Levine was diagosed with stage IV colorectal cancer. Along with conventional treatment, she utilitzed exercise, nutrition, laughter therapy, imagery and reiki to overcome it. This is her story of the journey.
Ruth Levinenow works as an occupational therapist in sub-acute rehabilitation. She lives in Morganville, New Jersey with her husband, Mike, their two children, Zack and Lia, and their cat, Foxy, whom they rescued from the wilds of suburbia. Her interests include reading, health and wellness, maintaining a total healthy lifestyle, and educating people on the importance of doing so.
If the only lessons in this book were related to Levine’s holistic approach to cure, it would still be a book that people with cancer will want to read. But it is so much more because Levine teaches us what it feels like to be a cancer patient
....We talk a lot these days about patient-centered care. But since many of us have not yet been “patients,” we don’t know what it really feels like to be on the other end of the stethoscope or on the receiving end of life-threatening news. Cancer Warrior clearly and vividly provides that perspective and, I believe, it is for that contribution that this book will become known and, hopefully, widely read by the medical community and well beyond....
I think that medical schools and residencies should make this little gem of a book required reading....
