The Cancer Survivor’s Bible

In early 1993  my own cancer journey started – when Bernadette, my wife, was diagnosed. We struggled for 15 months to comprehend the enemy we faced and the various options that various books recommended. Then she died. I realised that the struggle I was going through was one that was being repeated in a million or more households every year. If I was seeking clarity for myself then there were millions like me who were similarly seeking some understanding. So I made it my mission to package whatever understanding I was achieving in a way that I hoped would help others. So I started writing books.

First there was Fighting Cancer: A Survival Guide (1996)

Then there was Cancer: The Complete Recovery Guide (2008) – The Big Book

(And at the same time there was ‘the little book’: Cancer Recovery Guide: 15 Alternative and Complementary Strategies for Restoring Health – “Maybe the best cancer book [of the year]” Townsend Letter for Doctors)

Then the Big Book was updated and  enlarged by 40% and divided into 8 books

Cancer: The Complete Recovery Guides Books 1-8 (2012)

1. What now? – Basic Facts, Attitudes, options and Directions

2. Diagnosis & The Conventional Treatments

3. Cancer Research & Politics

4. Detox and Diet

5. Herbs and Biological Therapies

6. Vitamins & Other Supplements

7. Energy, Mind & Emotions

8.  Cancer Survivors’ Stories

And then finally they were put back together again in one big volume with an index and called

THE CANCER SURVIVOR’S BIBLE

So that was the journey the books took.

The Website too needed to be simplified, made clearer – and it has.

Bushell, cancer survivor
