An Important Book For Those with Breast Cancer,
By
This review is from: Guided by Dreams: Breast Cancer, Dreams, and Transformation (Paperback)
I had many vivid dreams when I was undergoing surgery, chemo and radiation for breast cancer. This book is a testament to the power of dreams, specifically in the life of someone with breast cancer. The author tells an amazing story... and I am amazed at her openness to letting her dreams teach her, inform her, and lead her on her journey. If you have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and are open to the messages and teachings of dreams, you cannot miss this book! --- Anne Marie Bennett, author of Bright Side of the Road: A Spiritual Journey Through Breast Cancer

After completing this book, I had a very good understanding of how the diagnosis of breast cancer changes a life. As the reader, you follow Rachel Norment's journey from diagnosis to healing. When you have finished, you will understand how to cope with the disease, what questions to ask and where to find support. For a breast cancer patient, this is a must read.
