Your cancer survivorship and quality of life depend on critical decisions that you will make throughout your cancer journey. This book will encourage and inspire you to build the best support team and obtain resources necessary to help you along the way.
After coming to grips with a cancer diagnosis, Katrece Nolen made a conscious decision to get the best treatment available and to bring together the best support team possible. As a survivor of Stage 3 Inflammatory Breast Cancer for 8 years, Katrece shares her journey from uninformed patient to self-advocate in her book, I've Been Diagnosed, Now What? Courageously Fighting Cancer in the Face of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.
She used a variety of methods, including internet research, word of mouth, and joining support groups to learn how to build a strong medical team and surround herself with a support structure of her family, friends, and social media communities. Now having passed the critical five-year survival mark, Katrece is sharing her strategies with other survivors and caregivers who may be feeling isolated and uncertain.
With inspiring stories from other survivors, resource lists for every stage of the process, and survivor secrets she learned along the way, readers will be able to build their community of support and not just survive but thrive
