<p>This wise little book of 150 meditations is like a breast cancer support group. It is exactly what a woman recuperating in her hospital bed or during any of the other milestones of treatment and recovery might need--the advice and wisdom of other women who have preceded her in confronting breast cancer.</p><p>Gathered here are moving reflections, anecdotes, and practical information for women concerned with or diagnosed with this disease. Built upon the experiences of women of all ages-women who have undergone all types of breast surgery and treatments from lumpectomy and mastectomy to radiation and chemotherapy; women who are single, married, divorced, widowed, straight, gay-the reflections touch upon topics as universal as fear and grief and as intimate as sex.</p><p>The meditations help women:<br><ul><li>discover healing insights and support</li><li>explore options for defining a "new normal"</li><li>commit to living each and every moment, fully and fearlessly</li></ul></p><p>Every three minutes a woman in America is diagnosed with breast cancer. Shocking but true. And <i>The Language of Healing</i> is a place for all those women to find comfort and strength, day by day, and a reminder that breast cancer patients - at any stage of the disease or of their recovery - are not alone.</p>
