Article about Grace Gawler's Yarrow Valley Living Centre, near Melbourne, Australia for specifically women with breast cancer, but also other cancers. Much of the work is based around changing attitudes - towards a positive 'fighting' attitude, learning to deal effectively with stress, setting realistic post-treatment goals and 'nurturing themselves' instead of giving endlessly to others. The treatments also recommend having emotional support and practising relaxation techniques and meditation. (see also Entry 840) (CY)
