Janet Edwards was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2001. Choosing to Heal charts her story through diagnosis, surgery and her decision to stop the prescribed follow-up treatments. Janet leads us through her journey of inquiry, her intensive research and ultimately her quest for a more sustainable solution: a nurturing blend of conventional and complementary medicine that honours the subtle intelligence of the body and restores its fine balance with the mind and spirit. The result is an enlightening, empowering reminder that health is more than just the absence of disease and a wake-up call for every woman to take charge of her own wellbeing. Janet highlights the urgent need for radical change in the way breast cancer is conventionally treated and presents well-researched advice on how to help prevent breast cancer and create safer breast screening.
