REVIEWS
"Bill
and Susie Buchholz are a wonderful oncologist-psychologist team
who have devoted decades providing cancer patients with scientifically
grounded, open minded and psychologically sensitive approaches to
cancer care. Live Longer, Live Larger is a strong and clear summary
of all that they have learned.
A
very useful book covering a wide range of key issues that cancer
patients face....It is solid, it is broadminded, it is thoughtful,
it is compassionate, it is wise."
--MICHAEL LERNER, President, Commonweal Author of Choices in
Healing: Integrating the Best of Conventional and Complementary
Approaches to Cancer
"In
this gem of a book William and Susan Buchholz offer us the experience
gained from a lifetime of accom-panying people with cancer. Live
Longer, Live Larger is holistic medicine at its best: relevant,
liberating, wise, and profoundly healing. If only everyone with
cancer could receive it from their doctor along with their diagnosis."
