- when doctors told Sophie that her prognosis was poor
- she has been on a remarkable journey of healing & transformation that has reshaped her vocation as well as changed her life for the better The Cancer Whisperer chronicles Sophie's extraordinary relationship with cancer & the methods that she has used for dealing with fear anger denial & grief The essence of 'cancer whispering' was born of Sophie's determination to take cancer off the battlefield & into the classroom Instead of going to war with it Sophie has chosen to listen to it learn from it & choose her own response to it Sophie offers a radically different way of relating to this disease both mentally & practically she shares the research she has done the treatments she has chosen the diet she follows & the resources that she feels have made the biggest differences in the hope that they will help others cut through the mass of information out there Sophie says ' This book is for the cancer patient who wants to remain a dignified empowered human being even when your doctors & diagnosis are scaring the hell out of you It is also for the cancer patient who has a hunch that there is something for them to learn gain or even be transformed by
- if they just knew how to relate to this disease differently to the way most of society does It is for the cancer patient perhaps any patient'
