Abstract

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)
