I posted on another board,
I really like Rachel Naomi Remen's books, Kitchen Table Wisdom and My Grandfather's Blessings. Remen's medical training included oncology, and she counsels cancer patients. Previously, she headed the pediatric clinics at Stanford. And she's a longtime Crohn's disease patient.
