[edit] Biography
Ireland’s first bout with breast cancer in 1997 motivated her to carefully weigh the advice of doctors following her lumpectomy. They urged her to have a mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Instead, she decided to trust the messages she was getting from her body and find a way to eliminate straggler cells by boosting her immune system instead of submitting to invasive and toxic treatments that could kill her even if the cancer didn’t.
The experience resulted in her award-winning 2004 self-help memoir, Learning to Trust Myself: Lessons From Cancer and Other Life Dilemmas (ISBN 0-9761452-0-0).
