About This eBook

The patient journey is filled with stories. Some are about being insistent and persistent to get to a diagnosis. Others are about asking doctors the hardest questions when at death’s door, in this case written by a young woman, non-smoker diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer.

Stories in this compilation include dealing with cancer and “scanxiety,” living with an invisible disease, and living with a chronic disease like fibromyalgia. They are about life and death and everything in-between.
