Review for Simonton Cancer Counseling Center Charitable Trust, Malibu, CA, USA
I live in a remote community in northern British Columbia, Canada I was diagnosed with breast cancer in the spring of 2021. Although second opinions are recommend, where I live there are no options for second opinions. The medical system here gives no mention of the emotional side of dis-ease. I found the doctors and professionals assigned to my care were very busy and had little time for all my questions. I had to do my own research and on the topic of wellness I discovered the book “Getting Well. Again” by Carl Simonton For me this was the best information. It kept coming into my mind and finally January 2022 I talked with Karen Simonton and there I was signed up a week before the program started. It was meant to be. I have found that other support groups included a lot of discussion around the scary parts of the treatment which just leaves a person more fear The cancer diagnosis and the treatments can leave a person feeling powerless and vulnerable. The SCC program was so empowering which is critical for healing and wellness.
