Nothing to Fear: The Key to Cancer Survival
Author: Larry Burkett
A Crash Course on Cancer Survival
In 1995 Larry Burkett was diagnosed with kidney cancer, which had spread to his scapula, and his hope of survival was not favorable. Based on
his own personal cancer survival journey, Nothing to Fear was written to help shorten the learning curve for others. What had Burkett learned?
Well, among other things, he found that:
• the single most important factor in cancer survival is faith
• the opposite of faith is fear and it must be conquered
• not all cancer treatments work for everyone
• technology improves daily and offers more varied treatment options
• some alternative therapies offer much promise
It is these time-proven, common sense lessons that Burkett shares with readers in this candidly personal book. Whether you or someone you know has received a cancer diagnosis, this book offers a healthy dose of wisdom. Or, as Burkett would define it, “useable knowledge” offered by someone
who has been where you are.
Burkett’s theme, which rings throughout this handy volume like a chorus: “No medical doctor is really responsible for your health; you are responsible for your health. Doctors may help guide, give alternatives, advise, and administer whatever therapy you choose, but it’s your body, and you must make the final decisions. ”

Christian financial guru Larry Burkett forsakes his usual pattern of dispensing personal finance advice to offer hope to cancer patients in Nothing to Fear: The Key to Cancer Survival. In March of 1995, Burkett received a shocking diagnosis of kidney cancer, and learned that it had spread to his left shoulder blade. He faced a low expectation of survival. Here, he explains the strategies that helped him better his chances: arming himself with information, seeking several opinions, exploring alternative treatments (even going as far as Prague for immune therapy), changing his diet and allowing faith to win out over fear. The book is quite practical and reassuring, though much of the personal information has already appeared in Burkett's memoir Hope When It Hurts.
