I was surprised to be discovering this book 28 years after it was first published. It seems very current and progressive, so much so, that I had to think I must have been sleep walking to only be discovering it now. Dr. Siegel who is now retired but was a general and pediatric surgeon writes this book of his first person account of working with many patients on a more personal level. He writes that he got tired of thinking of his patients as ‘cases’ and missed the person to person connection. He created a support group called Exceptional Cancer Patients (ECaP) “to help people mobilize their full resources against the disease”. The group’s motto was “In the face of uncertainty, there is nothing wrong with hope.” According to Dr. Siegel, exceptional patients refuse to be victims. They educate themselves and become specialists in their own care. He notes a study from London that showed a better 10 year survival in patients who show a ‘fighting spirit’ as opposed to ‘stoic acceptance’. He believes in a mind-body connection to disease and explains this in the “surveillance theory” which states that cancer cells are developing in our bodies all the time but are normally destroyed by white blood cells before they develop into dangerous tumors. Cancer appears when the immune system (controlled by the brain) becomes suppressed and can no longer deal with the cancer cells. This is because the brain becomes so disrupted by other concerns (like stress, or unfulfilled lives); it takes its attention away from the cancer cells. |
