Cancer Monthly will be hosting its first teleconference for cancer survivors to present information for patients and their family members on alternative therapies and integrative medicine. The free teleconference, which will take place on Thursday June 29, 2006 at 8:00 PM EST, will feature four cancer survivors as they share their experiences of using alternative and integrative therapies as part of cancer treatment and cancer survivorship. Three of the featured guest speakers will be:
- Paul Kraus -- In 1997, Kraus was diagnosed with advanced peritoneal mesothelioma. He was sent home to die. He created his own alternative path to healing. Nine years later, he is enjoying a good quality of life.
- Madeleen Herreshoff -- In 1991, Herreshoff was diagnosed with aggressive poorly differentiated invasive breast cancer. Three years later, she had a local recurrence of her cancer. She blended mainstream and alternative therapies to create her own path to healing.
- Ann Fonfa -- In 1993, Fonfa was diagnosed with invasive lobular breast cancer. She suffered recurrences from 1995 to 2001 with 25 tumors overall -- 14 of which appeared on the chest wall. She created her own path to healing, choosing a combination of chemical sensitivity/special needs and her own readings of research studies. Fonfa is also the webmistress of The Annie Appleseed Project.
If you are interested in participating in this free teleconference, the organizers of the event suggest you
