After Shock From Cancer Diagnosis To Healing

“After shock is an incredibly organized book, full of hope and compassion. Completely comforting to the reader, it contains tons of useful information, ranging from what questions to ask your doctors to what options there are for treatments and short, individual stories by people dealing with or who have dealt with their cancers. Overall, great book and HIGHLY recommended!”
Aileen Keaveney, Long Island, NY

"AFTER SHOCK spoke to me on many levels. Primarily, it addressed my role as caretaker. Had we had this book during our five years of stress, chaos and uncertainty, following the diagnosis of my lift-partner, Ananda, this guidebook would have been the answer to our prayers. As a nurse, I was impressed by its balance and thoroughness in the presentation of varied healing modalities. Finally, as a mother, I view this book as an extension of my love and caring for my family. I have gifted my daughter with a copy to circulate through the family if it is ever needed. This is truly a book for all seasons!… And for those troubled by other illness too."

"A must-buy. Readers will carry this book with them through and after cancer. Puja Thomson writes with depth and authority about one of the most terrifying experiences a woman can face. She draws from her own bout with breast cancer as well as her history as a healthcare provider to create an indispensable guide to understanding all aspects of this disease including traditional and non-traditional treatments, insights into patient’s rights, and information on what to expect and what to demand from others involved in the healing process. Had “After Shock: From Cancer Diagnosis to Healing” been written several years ago, two of my own family members might be alive today to be praising this book as I am. What makes this book so incredibly unique is that it is not only a wealth of vital information, which would be valuable on its own. Puja Thomson looks beyond the medical into the personal chasm created when a diagnosis of cancer occurs. Sometimes the hole in our wellbeing is pre-existing, and so cancer healing needs to happen at the soul level as well as the cellular level. Readers experienced in holistic living practices will find as much to anchor them in this process as those who are only just learning about the mind-body connection to health and wellness. Thomson empowers readers to create their own wellness program by incorporating relaxation and meditation techniques, creating a meaningful atmosphere, finding certain imagery to stimulate healing and powerful moods, and, perhaps most importantly, by cultivating a deep soul connection to health, mindfulness, and spirituality."
