This groundbreaking book, authored by integrative oncologist Keith Block, MD, became For Grace founder Cynthia Toussaint's care bible during her recent breast cancer treatment. And we're pleased to report that this week Dr. Block accepted our invitation to speak at For Grace's February 2021 Women In Pain Conference that will focus on the Pain-Cancer Connection. Dr. Block will be presenting during the "Solution" segment of our day, giving all-important advice about why it's critical to keep our "terrain" healthy to avoid cancer and/or a recurrence, We're thrilled!

Forgoing steriods, she found lasting relief with acupuncture and other integrative remedies. Despite ongoing pain from cancer treatment, Pat travels the world while advising, "You're the CEO of your health."
