The Golden Thread: A Quiet Revolution in Holistic Cancer Care

Written by the late Pat Pilkington, the co-founder of the Bristol Cancer Help Centre, now Penny Brohn Cancer Care, this book shares the unique insights of Pat's 30 years of working for those with cancer. The "Bristol Approach", as it is now known and internationally respected, offered a more holistic support system for the treatment of cancer. The book is far more than a history of this extraordinary centre or the autobiography of a remarkable woman. Rather it is a deeply spiritual work that aims to show how we can all find our life's meaning and purpose, and come to a true and lasting sense of peace and fulfilment. Pat speaks to life, not just to cancer, and shows how the restoration of the human spirit is an essential part of holistic healing. The Golden Thread of the title is the transcendent nature of love that runs through everything, awakening the potential to uplift, inspire, overcome and create anew, even in the face of severe adversity.
