Spirituality
and Cancer
"A diagnosis of cancer compels a person
to ask the ultimate human questions, Who
am I? Why am I here? What
happens to me, after Im gone?
I believe that religion and spirituality
have a very important place in life, especially
when confronting these complex, existential
issues. Although we rarely acknowledge the
fact that we are mortal, having cancer begs
us to look our mortality right in the eyes..."

with experience in caring for over 400 cancer
patients and author of a comprehensive cancer
guide.
