Carole OToole was diagnosed with inflammatory
breast cancer a very rare and aggressive form
of advanced breast cancer in 1994, at the age
of 38. Given 18 months to live by her physician,
and faced with an extensive and grueling regiment
of chemotherapy, surgery, radiation and a bone
marrow transplant (high dose chemotherapy/stem
cell rescue), Carole decided she needed to do
everything she could to help herself through treatment
and recovery. She viewed cancer as more than a
physical crisis; it was an opportunity to heal
on many different levels. Her search for complementary
therapies while facing a life-threatening illness
led her to a new appreciation for the time and
energy a cancer patient must expend on finding
appropriate treatments and practitioners. This
experience led her to commit herself to helping
others: since her recovery, she has coached breast
cancer survivors on creating their personal integrative
treatment plans, through her partnership, Finding
My Way. Carole also advises hospitals on patient
needs and integrative cancer care, and speaks
and writes about complementary therapy and integrative
treatment to health professionals and survivors.
She is the author of two books on integrative
treatment.
