Why We Get Cancer: How to Heal the Hidden Anger that Feeds It
Diagnosed with two different cancerous tumors at the same time—in her left breast, and throat, the author realized she had two choices: 1) Acknowledge the hidden anger in her own life and find a way to release it. Or 2) Live in denial and wait for the cancer to come back.
Choosing option number one, she began working through her own hidden anger and forgiveness issues. As methods for deep healing began to develop, she was encouraged to begin teaching these healing tools to other cancer survivors.
With great compassion the author will lead you through the interactive exercises in Why We Get Cancer and you will be encouraged to:
- Discover where anger is buried in your body.
- Release the toxic poison of unforgiveness.
- Follow the clear instructions on how to forgive the vipers who have wounded you.
- Take control of the fearful thoughts every cancer survivor struggles with.
- Harness the power in your words to keep your body cancer-free.
- Reclaim your power after being raped, molested, or abused.
- Control your intake of sugar and carbs—cancer’s favorite comfort foods.
- Use healing codes to heal your body at the cellular level—painlessly.
Dr. Ben Johnson, an oncologist for twenty years, said, “I’ve never met a cancer patient who didn’t have a forgiveness issue.”
Why We Get Cancer is your chance to deal with the hidden anger that feeds cancer, learn why and how to forgive, get your frightening thoughts under control, reclaim your power after abuse or an attack, and live the rest of your life cancer-free.

Gentle and Kind: A Nurture and Stretch Self-Care Journal
All serious daring starts from within. – Harriet Beecher Stowe
Self-care is about your relationship with yourself. Your self-care practice includes cultivating respect, understanding, acceptance, and appreciation of an amazing person—you.
Practicing self-care and self-love is essential. When you practice self-love, you grow to accept and appreciate yourself. You begin to accept your emotions for what they are; you’re able to start to make your physical, emotional and mental well-being a priority. It’s the old, “secure your own oxygen mask first,” lesson. We need to practice self-care and self-love so that we don’t drain our emotional fuel tank and have nothing left for anyone—including ourselves.
Using a journal is one of many ways to take care of yourself. Writing or drawing in a journal allows you to look back on older entries and gain perspective, it helps you to connect to your inner self, listen to your inner voice and sometimes talk back to it. Think of this book as a gentle invitation to be kind to yourself. This book includes sections on defining self-care and self-love and reminders of ways you can add some of these practices to your daily life.
This journal is a place to feel supported, in particular, a place to notice how you are supporting yourself. It is a place to feel vulnerable, content, grateful, joyful, happy, confident, brave, grounded, connected, energized, excited, encouraged, loved.

Speaker: Joy Leccese, Certified Master Professional Coach, former psychotherapist, financial advisor; currently a TBI caregiver (Traumatic Brain Injury) and parent of two amazing adults who are rockin’ it!
Joy Leccese is a plucky, leading-edge baby boomer (meaning she’s older than most of you reading this). A Yankee at heart, hailing from western New York State, she is a transformational life coach, specializing in teaching and using tools of mindfulness and insight meditation for personal transformation.
She guides her clients from stuck to unstuck, from trauma to triumph; from places they’ve been moored for too long, to where they want to go, but never had the nerve to try. Joy helps people find that gutsy person within, and create a fuller, more joyful life by design, not default, with empowering results.
Joy is the proud mom of two adult children, who are the loves of her life. Her own journey from trauma to triumph fuels her passion for helping others to overcome their sometimes overwhelming stories and traumas in life. Having a son with TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) she walks the walk and understands what’s behind our storylines.
Gaining new insights into internal dialogues that trip you up, and strategies for helping you dismantle old beliefs that no longer serve you, are just two of the powerful means of transforming your own life.
