This book explores the human search for meaning when people are confronted with a life-threatening illness such as cancer. Losing Me, Becoming Me delves into the relationship between body and mind in this challenging context. It argues for a compassionate and courageous stance towards ourselves as embodied beings. Despite its dire predicament, our body cries out to be acknowledged, taken care of, and accepted as-it-is. Living with cancer involves a profound journey into an existential crisis such as the 'dark night', and yet which also brings unexpected moments of inner light. This book argues that 'spirituality' is ultimately about facing the reality of our physicality and mortality. It is when we face this reality that we can discover the mystery lying at the very heart of human existence. The crisis of a cancer diagnosis for many people means having to reconnect with the body in a wholly different way. Losing Me, Becoming Me describes a form of body work that helps to rediscover our body at a deeper level. It is rooted in Chinese Qi Gong practice and the Christian tradition of Hesychasm. It describes an approach to an embodied spirituality which may be of interest to professionals working in cancer care, patients, carers, and cancer survivors. Dr William Yang and Ton Staps have been working with cancer patients for many years. In this book they map a journey which often involves losing and rediscovering the self. Losing Me, Becoming Me is a book which argues for a compassionate, empathic, and tender stance towards the reality that we are embodied beings. - Toine van den Hoogen, Emeritus Professor in Theology at Radboud University, Nijmegen the Netherlands. "William Yang and Ton Staps show how the loss of health because of cancer can lead to a profound transformation, which is grounded in the body. I have drawn on their thinking and approaches over many years in my work as a psychologist and pastoral care worker. In Losing Me, Becoming Me the authors offer a fascinating and challenging perspective on the journey through cancer." - Peter Zandvliet, Psychologist and Pastoral Care Worker.

Cancer is a word that strikes fear into the hearts of many people. It is a disease that affects millions of individuals across the globe, regardless of age, gender, or background. In this subchapter, we will explore the basics of cancer, shedding light on what it is, how it develops, and how it affects the lives of those diagnosed with it.At its core, cancer is a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. These cells have the potential to invade and destroy surrounding tissues and organs, leading to serious health complications. While there are over 100 different types of cancer, they all share a common characteristic: the disruption of the body's natural balance of cell growth and death.Understanding the development of cancer is crucial in comprehending its impact. The disease starts at a cellular level, with mutations occurring in the DNA of a cell. These mutations can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetic predisposition, environmental exposures, lifestyle choices, and certain infections. Over time, these abnormal cells multiply, forming a tumor. While tumors can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous), it is the latter that poses the greatest threat to human health.Cancer can affect any part of the body, with some of the most common types being breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, and colorectal cancer. Each type has its own unique characteristics, symptoms, and treatment options. It is important to note that cancer not only impacts the physical well-being of an individual but also takes a toll on their emotional, social, and financial aspects of life.Early detection and timely treatment play a vital role in the fight against cancer. Regular screenings, such as mammograms, Pap smears, and colonoscopies, can help identify cancer at its earliest stages when treatment is often more successful. Additionally, adopting a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption, can reduce the risk of developing cancer.
