This is a story of one woman’s bout with breast cancer that focuses on life after. It takes some of the pain out of a painful situation. It helps you to know what they are talking about with the ‘medical terms’ you wish you understood. It is an inspiration to those just embarking upon this cancer journey but is uplifting and an easy read for everyone. The author is a seasoned writer and a good portion of the book is filled with newspaper articles she has written after recovery from a modified radical mastectomy. They are enlightening, hopeful and often entertaining at a time when there isn’t enough to laugh about. Professionals in the field, as well as other cancer patients claim the book as a ‘must read’.

This is a workbook taken from the Tit Tatts book made especially for the patient to record the events and offer help and explanations. It suggests a way to start over with a better life and even gives you an outline to write a story of your life. It is inspirational but also serves as a great project during some of the down time.

Perhaps the most helpful item you can buy for the breast cancer patient is this 40 page booklet.  It takes you step by step thru the process from diagnosis to wellness and explains what you can expect and how you deal with it.  It also identifies some of the medical terms you will hear and lets the patient use it as a diary to record her own cancer story.  At the end is an outline for writing a story of your life.  It is a great project and one with lasting importance.

You can get an immediate copy of the course by downloading it now or of course, you can order it and have it delivered.  Either way, it is considered a must for the patient as well as her loved ones.

I am Anita Horwitz and as a psychotherapist, I developed this Cancer Recovery Meditation CD to reduce pain, nausea, and promote relaxation. It enabled the patient to continue with chemotherapy until the cancer is in remission. It is a very powerful tool. Definitely worth trying

You don't have to be sick to appreciate the soft comfort of a beautiful scarf or shawl made of cashmere with just a bit of silk.  These come in white, ivory, black, teal or bright pink.  One of the joys of a scarf this size (30" X 80") is that they can make a stole, headgear, or a comfy wrap. 

I warned you I am not just a writer or cancer survivor but am an artist.  If you would like to purchase a painting for someone special, there is a fair sampling on www.charlavan.com.  The prices vary from $300 to $3,000 and even though many of those shown are not available, some of them are.

Everyone who’s anyone has a T-shirt. We’re no different. However, the shirt IS different. This over-sized all cotton, long sleeved version is designed to have the book cover look like a patch pocket on the lower front and the back of the book cover looks like your hip pocket. That leaves the top usable as ‘just a white shirt’!! We love it and hope you do. (And thanks for the walking advertisement.)

This adorable hat is a nice choice instead of wigs and scarfs. It is white woven acrylic in one size. It can be a fun project as well as a necessary way to cover the chrome dome for a while. Try decorating it with rhinestones, gluing temple curls of your own hair, if you like. It is also great fun to attach beads or pearls to the sides and back in a Cleopatra style, varying lengths.

Wheat grass is the young grass of the wheat plant. It provides a variety of natural health benefits by adding amino acids, minerals and vitamins.It also improves the digestive system,, relieves constipation, cleanses the liver and helps remove heavy metals. It detoxifies the body. We have first hand testimonies from people who claim this was by far the main method used to rid their bodies of cancer after having been assured by the doctors that they would not live another 2 months. These patients ingested the wheat in a variety of ways and often several times a day. Their suggestion is that it be blended into shakes and other drinks.
