**If you dig into this audiobook, you will surely find something to support you through the most challenging seasons of life.**

A story of chemotherapy, of ancestral trauma, of parenting, and of religious and spiritual questions. Here you will find camaraderie—a friend for the journey. This book weaves together the story with the most potent Integrative resources for finding peace, hope, and health through difficult medical experiences.

Hannah invites us on her complex journey through a year of poison— of the multi-drug, weekly chemotherapy that saved her life. In a unique gift to listeners, she weaves anecdotes on healing, parenting, religion, panic, and ancestors with a concise compilation of protocols, ideas, and meditations. Together these resources will help you navigate the world of cancer in a truly integrative fashion.

The Platinum is not just an image or metaphor—the spoiler is that there was literal Platinum in the chemotherapy drugs. In the highest way, the key to surviving chemotherapy is finding the light in the poison. Hannah teaches us to do this. She shows us through her own story, through the sacred marriage of western and alternative medicine, and through specific literal materials, modalities, and exercises. Your journey is your own, but Hannah has arrived as a friend—a helper who has gone there and back again. She brings humor and joyfully readable prose as she unpacks a year of cancer amidst the pandemic.

This work goes all the way down and cuts through the hardest packed soil. For only then, after succumbing to the lightless depths, might we emerge holding treasure.
