Overview
"This memoir will touch you, torment you, and teach you how to fight for your life. At 35 years old, newly married and with a baby, Patricia Rodi was told she had three months to live. Her advanced stomach cancer would require risky surgery, grueling treatments, and, if she survived, would result in a diminished life. The aftermath of treatment did, indeed, bring challenges as great as the cancer itself. She persevered, and lived to tell the tale. This book offers patients, their family, and their friends Patricia's closely lived experience. It provides both inspiration and practical tips to help people through critical illness, and in confronting the fear of death. ""This riveting memoir tells the story of a Montreal woman's experience after being diagnosed... Walking us through the lengthy, challenging process of the cure, the book offers an insider's view of a life-threatening disease and survival."" Award-winning writer Claire Holden Rothman ""A moving story of a cancer survivor, written from the heart."" Award-winning writer Joan Hall Hovey"
