‘Sandra Slatter’s account of her experience of fighting cancer is a very powerful read. She documents her encounter not just with an illness that we too easily shy away from, but with a medical system that puts enormous demands on the psyche as much as on the body. Above all, she knows how confronting cancer can open up new paths of self-discovery. Sandra’s willingness to share her experiences gives new insight into the demands of fighting illness and the transforming potential of a journey that is spiritual to the core. Her book will be of relevance not just to those facing cancer or with loved ones in such a situation, but to those concerned with the health and wellbeing of our society as a whole’
