Aviva Mayers was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008. Like millions of women throughout the world, she initially agreed to a conventional treatment out of fear and confusion. But she began to question those choices as the treatment progressed. Following her treatment she took herself on a journey to learn about gentler, less invasive treatments outside of conventional medicine. Aviva attributes her current state of good health to the integrative and alternative paths she ultimately followed.
This is a book about options … options for treatment, management and prevention of breast cancer outside of mainstream medicine.

The book includes interviews with patients who followed a path to recovery, much of which they attribute to alternative treatments.
