Being diagnosed with cancer is literally a crisis for the soul. In Parallel Journeys, poet/philosopher Ric Masten and clinical psychologist Dr. Larry Lachman-both cancer survivors-use a first-of-its-kind integrated approach blending the poet's art and the psychologist's science in offering awe inspiring strategies for coping with cancer. Masten and Lachman provide "battle tested" tips for coping with the shock of diagnosis as well as the side effects of treatment and the unexpected after treatment malaise that cancer patients often face. Masten and Lachman provide a literal roadmap on how to find the right support group, how to use groundbreaking coping tools like the SANITYMatrix™ , the Healing Narrative and The Five Insights for Recovery, as well as tips on determining when it is time to switch from "cure" to "care." Written with wisdom, compassion and humor, Parallel Journeys can help anyone who is facing cancer--or for that matter-any life crisis that challenges mind, body and spirit. "By reading Parallel Journeys, my colleagues and I can only become better at what we do as physicians."
— John Ravera, M.D., F.A.C.S., Diplomate, American Board of Urology, Newport Beach, California

"Parallel Journeys will move you gracefully through many of the psychological as well as physical aspects of coping with cancer. My medical colleagues, cancer patients and their families are indeed fortunate that Ric Masten and Dr. Larry Lachman felt the urgency to get all of this on paper as soulfully and as comprehensively as they have."
— Kathleen Farinacci, M.D., Diplomate, American Board of Psychiatry, Dana Point, California
