Cancer, Surgery and Chemotherapy Alone Isn't Enough
The essence of complementary and integrative medicine that nurtures body and mind

Dr. Lee Byeong-wook, author of “A Letter to You Who Overcame Cancer,” is a self-proclaimed “cancer doctor.”
He has demonstrated outstanding skills, with almost no reoperations, even after performing surgeries for 15 years.
But in the process, I also experienced the limitations of surgery and chemotherapy.
This is because there have been cases where the cancer recurred quickly or was not overcome even after being completely removed.
After that, he left his job as a surgeon and moved to a position as a complementary and integrative medicine doctor.


Complementary and Integrative Medicine (CIM) recognizes the limitations of modern medicine for incurable diseases like cancer and explores ways for patients to live better lives.
When we talk about 'complementary and integrative medicine,' we often think of it as a last resort treatment for terminally ill cancer patients who have not seen significant results from conventional medical treatments, but this is a misconception.
Complementary and integrative medicine is based on modern medicine and, in conjunction with medical treatment, aims to holistically manage cancer by positively changing the patient's mind and life, reducing stress, and boosting immunity.


This book begins by emphasizing that cancer is a systemic disease, not a localized disease, and that it is both a physical and psychological disease.
In other words, rather than thinking of fighting cancer, you can overcome cancer by approaching treatment with the mindset of acknowledging cancer as a part of your body and living with it.


For cancer patients and their caregivers
The first step toward happy and sustainable cancer treatment

Dr. Lee Byeong-wook has been publishing a weekly essay series in the cancer webzine “Amirang” since 2021, drawing on the knowledge and experience he has accumulated while studying cancer and working with patients.
This book contains 52 essays collected in this way.
Among the patients he met during his 37 years as a doctor, some died from cancer and others survived.
Dr. Lee Byeong-wook believed that the difference was because they were able to live happily by freeing themselves from worry about cancer, accepting the cancer cells as part of themselves, and striving to maintain their quality of life.

The author, who first introduced laughter therapy in Korea over 30 years ago, used his own experience to focus on comforting patients' hearts rather than the general struggles with cancer.
We will teach you practical ways to maintain your quality of life by laughing happily, crying freely, restoring relationships with family, enjoying hobbies, and managing your physical strength.
Additionally, it guides cancer treatment and life from beginning to end, from the importance of mindset to the role of caregivers, lifestyle habits, and final preparations.
It also contains advice on realistic concerns that cancer patients and their caregivers face, such as how to find a good doctor, whether it is a good idea to tell people about the disease, whether it is a good idea to undergo chemotherapy, and whether health foods that are said to be good for cancer are effective.
This book, filled with sincerity for cancer patients, as if writing a letter to the patient, provides comfort to cancer patients and their guardians, and instills in them the courage to live as “healthy people with cancer” even if they have cancer.

A positive mindset is the shortcut to cancer treatment.
The author also conveys a happy message contained in 23 of his paintings.

This book also includes 23 drawings by Dr. Lee Byeong-uk.
The reason he first started painting was to calm his inner anger.
But as I continued to draw, I began to hear from patients that it warmed their hearts and helped them fight cancer.
Now, beyond just a hobby, he is spreading a message of hope to many people through his paintings.
The illustrations included throughout the text provide warm comfort to patients overcoming the difficult mountain of battling cancer.

Cancer is the number one cause of death in our country.
While there is so much information out there, deciding what attitude to adopt in the future is just as important as deciding what treatment to use.
Anyone who is diagnosed with cancer will likely feel anxious and fearful, but it's important to shift your thinking from negative to positive.
Past stress and lifestyle habits may have caused cancer.
You have to get rid of the bad habits you had before.
A cancer diagnosis should be viewed as an opportunity to take the best care of your body and mind.
If you take "A Letter to You Who Overcame Cancer" as your companion during your long struggle with cancer, you will be able to spend time feeling much more comfortable both physically and mentally.
