Fatal to Fearless: 12 Steps to Beating Cancer in a Broken Medical System
商品簡介
An empowering, soul-baring personal account and guide from a two-time cancer survivor, business leader, and healthcare disrupter that shows anyone how to deal with a frightening medical diagnosis in America today, providing the knowledge necessary to take ownership of personal wellbeing and maximize the chances for survival.
?Twenty-five years ago, Kathryn Giusti was diagnosed with multiple myeloma and given three years to live. With a young child, a happy marriage, and a successful career, Giusti had too much to live for. An "impatient patient," she overcame her fear and got to work, learning to advocate for her own care. This book is the result of all she's learned about how to get the best result from America's opaque and sometimes impossible-to-navigate health care system.
Saving Your Life While Living Your Life tells the story of how Giusti took on the system and turned it to her advantage not once but twice when she was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago. It is a crash course in surviving a grim diagnosis, organized around twelve simple steps, with practical tips for everything from how to build your healthcare team and learning which online sources to trust, to understanding the science and identifying which tests to ask for in the new genomic era and how to access the treatments and studies that could save your life.
At its center is a gripping personal story that reveals difficult, yet honest truths about illness, family, friendship, marriage, and the business of medicine. Giusti lays bare her soul as she walks you through the steps for handling any diagnosis, and includes insights from medicine's top insiders, therapists, religious leaders, nurses, and others on the frontlines of physical and spiritual healing and care.
Sick people deserve a fighting chance. Giusti's mission to democratize medicine--and healthcare--has never been more imperative, or more urgent. Hopeful, wise, and packed with hard-won knowledge, this book gives you the concrete tools and inspiration to save your life as you live it.
