Having recently lost her best friend of 45 years to cancer, Marsha was immediately drawn to Brenda and an instantaneous bond between them was sealed.

Brenda Michaels has dealt with cancer, not just once but three times. After the third diagnosis, when she was given a year to live, she paid attention and responded to what her body told her.  Eventually she came to believe that cancer was a gift because the cancer was saving her life in that she was not on the path her soul desired. The disease brought her back to her path and she continues to find gifts in cancer and other life challenges.

Marsha discussed how their book is not just about healing from cancer. We all need to heal our lives in some way. The principles of the book can be applied to any situation. The Gift of Cancer emphasizes mental, physical and spiritual healing.  Brenda described how words have power because the body hears what we think and say.  For example, when you are geared up to fight something attacking you, this creates a stressful situation. Our bodies can’t heal properly when they are too stressed and not peaceful.Brenda shares some of the things she did to contribute to her healing. including shifting her perspective about what she had heard about cancer. She saw it as a symptom of “dis-ease” within her. She created a dialogue with the cancer. and allowed it to teach her rather than be “an enemy. ” By making peace with the death process, she was able to move through the fear of death and live more fully. She has had incredibly good health since her last diagnosis twenty five years ago. Marsha describes the impact of working on the book with Brenda and how it became life-changing. As she says ” when we tell each other other our stories, we realize how alike we are than we are different.  We are not alone.”
