The Cancer Tightrope
A Whole-Person Guide to Strength, Balance and Healing Through CancerBy Brian Lawenda MD
Length1h 43m
About this audiobook
Cancer doesn’t just affect your body—it upends everything.
Your breath. Your identity. Your relationships. Your sense of safety.
Whether you’ve been diagnosed, are caring for someone you love, or navigating life after treatment, it can feel like walking a wire with no net.
The Cancer Tightrope is a steady, compassionate guide through that instability. Written by Dr. Brian Lawenda—a Harvard-trained radiation oncologist and nationally recognized expert in integrative and functional medicine—this book offers short, practical chapters to help you stay grounded.
At its core is The Four Pillars of Stability—a whole-person framework to support your mind, body, and relationships through every stage of the cancer journey. You’ll find tools for managing scanxiety, fear, and emotional overwhelm; strategies to restore sleep, energy, and recovery; support for caregivers and life after treatment; and language for hard conversations with loved ones and doctors.
