Summary
Both memoir and self-help book, this is the remarkable chronicle of a passage from terminal diagnosis to exuberant wellness in just a few months.
The Cancer Whisperer reverses our traditional adversarial relationship with cancer by teaching us how to listen to it; how to be healed by it as well as seek to cure it; and how to be emotionally free of illness even when physically curtailed.
Living on the frontier between her fierce will to live and necessary willingness to die, Sophie - now thriving with cancer - shares her journey with searing honesty, unapologetic vulnerability and intelligent pragmatism. Alongside rare insights into a condition now affecting approximately one in three people, she challenges the mental conditioning we need to overcome to redefine our narratives about cancer.
As 'the cancer whisperer', she offers a groundbreaking practical guide that will encourage cancer patients to:
- Direct their own treatment while preserving their personhood in a system that tends to see them as patients more than people.
- Engage with fear, anger and grief in healthy and healing ways instead of toughing it out, trying to be positive or collapsing into despair.
- Radically shift from being a cancer victim to a cancer listener - to seeing cancer less as a disease than as a symptom of other underlying causes, and engaging proactively with whatever changes it calls on them to make.
Discover what the author calls 'the whispering, the reaching into a well of darkness and finding your hands painted with light'. Inspired, wise and moving, this book is as unflinching as Lisa Lynch's The C Word and as uplifting as Kris Carr's Crazy, Sexy Cancer and carries us to a new threshold in our relationship with cancer, strengthening our ability to meet it with courage, creativity, gratitude and grace.

A must read for anyone needing to find a path through
I read this a few weeks after my diagnosis and can honestly say it was just what I needed. Sophie’s determination to actively take her own path rather than be a passive patient resonated with me. Her helpful tips on how to avoid helplessness and despair were inspirational and helped me navigate the conventional and non conventional paths. RIP Sophie x

Life affirming
Following a recent cancer diagnosis this book was recommended to me. Since listening to it I have recommended it to everyone I know. Sophie talks with such clarify, eloquence and grace about what is like to face a life changing situation, tools to find purpose and useful resources to help triage the vast amount of information on the internet.

Fabulous book
Many thanks to Sophie for her lovely, open, informative book: whether ill or not - it is worth reading and learning from. I love collecting all human experiences and Sophie is so descriptive, I was right there with her as she describes the path towards healing and understanding the self. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Thank you Sophie. So glad you wrote this book and gave all of us so much insight into the emotional side of cancer. You are strengthening the human race, and you do not even know it.
