sk her friends and loved
ones about the late Leah
Davidson and they will tell
you that Leah was a very giving person
whom everyone went to with their
own problems.
Even though Leah succumbed to
leukemia last December at age 62, she
is still giving back to people in need.
"Leah was first
diagnosed with non-
Hodgkin's lymphoma
in late 2000:' said
her husband of 41
years, Jeff Davidson
of Birmingham.
"Leah was very spiri-
tual and was a big
Jeff Davidson
believer in integra-
tive therapies. These techniques are
supplemental to medical treatment
and provide comfort to the soul:'
During the time that she was being
treated for cancer, Leah instituted
and led meditation classes and spear-
headed the formation of the Women's
Support Group.
Today, those who are battling cancer
can take advantage of these free, com-
plementary therapies at the Barbara
Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute's
Lawrence & Idell Weisberg Cancer
Treatment Center in Farmington Hills.
Those therapies, made avail-
able through Leah's iniative when
she was being treated at Karmanos'
Farmington Hills facility, include reiki
(a Japanese technique for stress reduc-
tion and relaxation that also promotes
Leah Davidson
healing), tai chi (which incorporates
soft, flowing movements to promote
relaxation and health), meditation,
yoga, massage and guided imagery
therapy (a system of visualization that
promotes relaxation).
Healthier Frame Of Mind
One cancer survivor who has benefit-
ted from tai chi classes at Karmanos
is Craig Kirby, 63, of West Bloomfield.
Kirby was diagnosed with stage III fol-
licular cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
in 2004. At the time, Kirby thought the
diagnosis was a death sentence.
"I figured I was dead, dead and
dead:' he said. "When you're going
through these tests, your head is spin-
ning. There is a time when you have to
take a leap of faith and put your trust
in someone else:'
Kirby said tai chi at Karmanos has
helped him gain a healthier frame of
mind and a greater level of energy
that has deepened his own spirituality.
Kirby is considered to be in remission
