Chapter 1: roots

   Though cancer survivors have much in common each of us is unique.  Begin by considering your roots.  What is your religious background?  Your parents? grandparents?  Next, what are your environmntal roots? Where were you born/raised?

     Jill Conway in her book Road from Coorain, says the environment shapes your world view and your predominant myths.  Ponder this statement in relation to your life.

     Nature has a subtle, profound effect on us.  Do you see the world as threatening? harsh? beautiful?predictable?

     How do these roots--religious and environmental affect the way you are coping with your cancer?
