“An inspiring story of love, faith, and courage in the face of
terminal cancer. And a powerful testimony to the urgent need
for cooperation between allopathic and alternative medicine.”
--Simone Gabbay,
Author, Nourishing the Body Temple
“A deeply moving story of love and faith in the face of
profoundly difficult choices posed by a life-threatening
illness. By sharing his wife struggle with cancer and her
conscious death at home in the presence of loved ones, Bob
Smith has given a gift of inestimable value to all of us as we
confront mortality.”
--Daniel Redwood,
Author, A Time to Heal |

Following two broken marriages and her mother’s suicide, Jane
came into the happiest time of her life with a new love. But
she soon became ill, and her life came to a tragic and
premature end. Her death certificate states that she died of
“metastatic carcinoma of unknown primary” — medical lingo for
a cancer whose source remains a mystery. But the truth abouth
the nature of her death is shocking. Jane found herself at the
mercy of health-care practitioners, some of whom believed the
best treatment was traditional medicine, and others who swore
by more alternative healing methods. The two schools of
thought proved fatal for Jane. The doctors spent too much time
and energy belittling one another’s methods and refusing to
cooperate with eachother, and too little on diagnosing and
treating Jane’s illness This poignant story, told through
Jane’s private journals by her loving husband, is a cautionary
tale for everyone caught in the crossfire of America’s medical
“cold war.” |
