The Gift of Cancer

A Miraculous Journey to Healing

“An inspiring and deep personal history of how cancer closed some doors but opened so many others, leading to personal transformation and growth” (Joel Kahn, MD, Professor of Medicine, Wayne State University School of Medicine).

After Brenda Michaels’s third cancer diagnosis and being told she had a year to live, she boldly stepped away from the accepted medical model, said “no” to chemotherapy, and chose alternative treatment. This unorthodox path, the connection of mind, body, and spirit, which many experts now believe is the key to true healing, ultimately saved Brenda’s life and put her in control of her own destiny. Her story reveals the immense healing power available within each of us.

With each obstacle Brenda encounters, we see the indefatigable courage and fortitude she demonstrates in facing her demons both inside and out. Brenda’s uplifting memoir encourages us to listen to our inner voice, trust our intuition, and look at the true source of healing. When we are willing to look deep within and take responsibility for our choices, we have the power to alter the course of our lives in miraculous and unexpected ways.
