I read Cancer As A Turning Point in the 90s when I had lymphoma. It was so powerful. And I had a session w Dr Le Shan in his Upper West Side Apartment at that time. He was a pioneer and changed so many lives. I see he died in 2020 as did my dad (who died of COVID at 97). I hope he had a good old age. I remember him with love
