BOOK #3 was inspired by my cancer journey. The day before my 41st birthday I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer, stage 2a. This changed everything. I was told that even with aggressive treatment there was a 25% chance the cancer could return, and if it spread, it would be incurable. I was told I would lose all my hair, that I could not get pregnant for 5 years and that I might not be able to work, because I would be very tired. I was quite the planner and suddenly it seemed like cancer was in charge, instead of me.

(The above video/interview was recently featured in The Huffington Post!)

I underwent a lumpectomy, 8 chemotherapy treatments and 6 weeks of daily radiation. I had two weeks to decide how to proceed with my treatment and had very little understanding of breast cancer. I felt like I was a plopped down in the middle of the Amazon Jungle with no map and I had to feel my way out.

 

Of course being faced with a life and death issue made me look deeper and question things. I had lived a good life and felt complete but I received a message from my Higher Self that I still needed to leave a legacy of 22 books behind. Since I had only published one book so far, this made me think that I might be sticking around for awhile.

 

I also tended to be the kind of person who felt that we were meant to learn from our earth experiences. I knew there was a spiritual context for my illness and I wanted to grow from it. I wanted to consult metaphysical and alternative healers as well as doctors, to examine myself on the level of mind, body, emotion and Spirit to see if there were any imbalances or blockages that I could heal during this process. I figured that taking the time to reflect and learn might inspire me and others who were on this same path.

 

Most people look at cancer as a scary, very negative thing to avoid. I was positing that it could be a spiritual journey that leads to health, wholeness and love. So far this has been true to me and I would be so happy if I can help even one person to feel this way as well.

So, tune in to see what transpires. This is a work in progress but I hope to have this book out within 6 months time! You can find more videos in my The Cancer Path Blog or on my YouTube The Cancer Path channel.

NEW UPDATES ON THE CANCER PATH…

The Cancer Path is a memoir/self-help book about a woman who views cancer as spiritual path. Dr. Sherman describes it as her ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ of cancer experience.

The Cancer Path examines healing on the levels of mind, body, emotions and spirit, examining controversial questions related to cancer treatment, addressing coping strategies, healing resources and providing many practical tips along the way.

Book reviews:

“When we can love our fate and learn from our journey through hell, in one form or another, we become life coaches for others. Paulette’s experience can help guide you through the journey into cancer land and help you to find the path which will guide you out and learn how to be a survivor.”
-Bernie Siegel, MD

“One does not know cancer until you experience it. The initial fear of the unknown shocks you into isolation and helpless. I understand this as the husband of a breast cancer survivor. And I also know that the courage from our spiritual nature brings hope and the resolve to fight. Paulette Sherman has described this beautifully in her struggle and victory. Her story of fear, spiritual healing, love and mind/body interventions is an outstanding plan for those in need.”
-Dr. James D Baird
Author of HAPPINESS GENES

“The Cancer Path is more than one woman’s journey through cancer; it is the most thorough guide I’ve ever read about navigating the cancer experience. This is the book I wish I’d had to guide me when I went through the cancer experience myself.”
-Randy Peyser

“Dr. Paulette Sherman demonstrates the power of spirituality and inner wisdom in dealing with difficult challenges in life. Illness is a spiritual journey and Paulette’s experience is an inspiring witness to the power of spirituality in each person’s life—in health and in illness.
