Overview

Sometimes what looks like the end is really the beginning. Globe-trotting reporter, party girl and ex-ski bum Kate Rice has escaped a miserable marriage, her kids are starting lives of their own and she's poised to start a brand new life. And then she gets a stage 4 cancer diagnosis and six months to live. How did that happen? Born to be an adventurer, she'd been raised to be a self-effacing nurturer. In her most intimate relationship, Kate had silenced her voice, ignored her dreams and suppressed her anger in a vain effort to save a doomed marriage. She'd been chasing those dreams-singing in a rock band, hiking the Swiss Alps and completing a 17-mile run over a 13,000-foot mountain in Colorado. How could she have cancer? And not just any cancer, but anaplastic thyroid cancer, one of the fastest growing and most aggressive of all cancers. But anaplastic thyroid cancer never met Kate Rice. Armed with a sense of humor, an indomitable spirit, and a tenacious will to live, she learns to stand up for herself. She turns to complementary therapies--meditation, acupuncture, visualization and more. Working that all-important mind body connection helps her body embrace all aspects of her cure at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. That includes surgery, radiation, chemo, immunotherapy and Car T cell therapy-with her irrepressible joie de vivre. By turns poignant and laugh-out-loud funny, Cured chronicles the transcendental and against-the-odds triumph of a good girl discovering the healing power of her own badassery.
