Bernie Siegal, MD.Harper and Row. This is a very inspiring book. Many anecdotes about people who overcame or are extremely long term survivors of life threatening illnesses. Lengthy reading list.
Book is also available on tape.
Also note his earlier book, Love Medicine and Miracles. Choices in Healing, Integrating the Best of Conventional and complementary Approaches to Cancer. Encyclopedic in scope. Very readable even though it is basically a textbook. An excellent overview of the state of cancer technology.
