I'm Not Fine: But I'm Surviving Cancer

By Leigh Ann Modesitt

Book Overview

At the young age of thirty-seven, I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a rare blood cancer for someone of my age. This diagnosis has given me a platform to showcase what this journey entails - be it good, bad, and often, ugly. The journey is not an easy one. The pain, the treatments, the absolute uncertainty of it all. One tries to endure it all with grace and poise, but there is, as in all things, a limit. From my initial diagnosis to present day, I will take you on a roller coaster ride through every moment of this journey. You will laugh, cry, and hopefully, feel like you're not alone. There are powerful, heart wrenching moments of giving up and others embracing my new path. Spending time at our vacation home near Destin, Florida and getting lost listening to music are both essential in healing my soul. With the power of supportive family and friends, incredible healthcare workers, and a husband who doesn't know how to quit, I have progressed from being just a cancer patient to my new title of survivor. I share my story not only to inspire others but to help them understand they possess the resilience to overcome any obstacle, be it cancer or otherwise. You are always stronger than you think you are. This is my story.
