Coping with breast cancer


Book Description

From the moment you receive a diagnosis of cancer, life changes. At that moment, it is like a bolt from the blue. There are many states of mind that are lived, from fear to impotence, from anger to despair. Every woman, however, has a great vital force within herself that she brings out more than ever in critical moments and which helps her to overcome even such a hard and complex path. In this period of continuous checks, treatments and surgical procedures, women often find themselves having to make decisions, to make choices, exactly when they have to concentrate all their strength and thoughts on themselves. This book is based both on personal and professional experiences, which I had as a psychologist in the medical oncology, breast surgery and imaging breast diagnostic units. It has been conceived as a helping support for women who must undergo breast surgery or have already undergone it, to obtain some practical and psychological suggestions for dealing better with the surgical-medical path. Reading this text will be useful also to relatives and friends, who often do not know how to react and who feel much more powerless than the woman herself does. The covered topics concern: Packing the bag for the hospitalization, with the specific tricks foreseen for the breast surgical intervention. An overview on the main therapies and some useful precautions to reduce the symptoms of the therapies (chemo, radiotherapy, hormone therapy) or to better live with them (pieces of information about wigs and turbans, etc.; the targeted use of makeup). Psychological suggestion regarding the relationship with one's children, relatives and friends. Suggestions to relatives and friends on how to behave with a breast-operated woman. The basic rules to find psychological wellness. Effective communication techniques. Stress management. A mention of civil and work rights for cancer patients.




Real Love


Book Description

The New York Times bestselling author and a central figure in the field of meditation, Sharon Salzberg, uses ancient Buddhist wisdom to redefine love and experience it in a more profound way. You are a person worthy of love. You don’t have to do anything to deserve all the love in the world. Real Love is a creative tool kit of mindfulness exercises and meditation techniques that help you to truly engage with your present experience and create deeper love relationships with yourself, your partner, friends and family, and with life itself. Sharon Salzberg, a leading expert in Lovingkindness meditation, encourages us to strip away layers of negative habits and obstacles, helping us to experience authentic love based on direct experience, rather than preconceptions. Across three sections, Sharon explains how to dispel cultural and emotional habits, and direct focused care and attention to recapture the essence of what it is to love and be loved. With positive reflections and practices, Sharon teaches us how to shift the responsibilities of the love that we give and receive to rekindle the powerful healing force of true connection. By challenging myths perpetuated by popular culture, we can undo the limited definitions that reduce love to simply romance or passion, and give the heart a much needed tune-up to connect ourselves to the truest experience of love in our daily lives.
