About the Book

This book is about a 49 year old woman, extremely healthy and driven, a daily runner, who suddenly feels tired after running about a block. Strange, but then at the same time her index fingers start feeling cold all the time. The hand surgeon declares we need to determine the source of this problem or we will have to amputate the fingers.

The Turning Point

Now I seriously pursue the tiredness problem and eventually am told I have Stage IV Lung Cancer. I don't know how much longer I have on this earth, but I am determined to share my cancer experiences with others so that they may hopefully be spared unnecessary distraught and frustration.

Gratitude and Reflection

I had a great team of oncologists and am forever grateful to them. Every year I send my primary oncologist a thank you letter so he knows I'm still kicking, thanks to him and his team.
