Creating Quality of Life While Experiencing Cancer
Empowered Healing is a practical guide to empowered personal responsibility in healing and creating quality of life while experiencing cancer. It is primarily designed to help patients, but it also provides caregivers with new and effective tools for patient support and for their own well-being.
The Story:
This fact-based, spirit-guided approach to cancer grew out of the authors’ own experiences with Craig Farnsworth’s cancer diagnosis and his wife’s caregiving (Susanne M. Alexander). Craig knew from the moment of his tumor diagnosis that his approach was going to be different from the way most people would respond. He was then further inspired by Dr. Bernie Siegel’s description of being an exceptional cancer patient in his book Love, Medicine, and Miracles. Susanne also did her best to be an exceptional caregiver. As a result, Craig lived far longer than expected with excellent quality of life throughout. This book unfolded weeks before Craig’s passing under hospice care.
The following are the elements of a dynamic and integrated fact-based, spirit-guided approach to holistically enhancing quality and quantity of life with hope, help, healing, and humor:

Additional Testimonials
Empowered Healing is a remarkable resource for people who are dealing with a loved one/friend who has been diagnosed with the disease of cancer, especially a cancer that is long term. I am impressed with the insights and tools provided for those on such a journey.
~ Thenice Gall, American Cancer Society board of directors, Akron, Ohio, Chapter
I am very touched by this work and your thoroughness. I feel this book will help many and not just those with cancer. Great work.
~ Karen Schulman, photographic artist, owner of Focus Adventures, and breast cancer survivor
This is a helpful tool, with much practical information, helpful encouragement, and lovely personal stories.
~ Eileen Coan, M.A., M.L.S., medical librarian, The Gathering Place, www.touchedbycancer.org
Empowered Healing is a superb read, heartfelt, and practical. Itis a testimonial on becoming an authentic human being, which is one who assesses their circumstances or situation, makes a decision, and takes responsibility for it. I feel emboldened to continue the path I have chosen to pursue as I continue to live with the results of a lymphoma. I can affirm that many practical suggestions you offer work—at least for me in my circumstance. Others I had not tried but will incorporate within my routine. The range of your approach in your book offers both the pragmatist and the idealist a considerable range of options to incorporate in their life’s healing journey. While the locus of Empowered Healing grew from the authors’ co-journey with cancer, this book provides guidance, suggestions, and practices that can be applied to a variety of life-challenging experiences anyone may face on a daily basis. Empowered Healing shines a loving beacon of light and truth in mind and heart and allows us to walk the healing path with conscious dignity, honesty, care, gratitude, and enthusiasm.
~ Reggie Newkirk, author, diversity/equity trainer, motivational speaker, youth development coach, and lymphoma patient
