Medical Memoir

Through a humorous lens, I took a dramatic journey of survival through
three life threatening cancers (pancreatic, t-cell lymphoma, and leukemia),
and their treatments (chemo, radiation, and bone marrow transplant), plus
sepsis and other conditions from age 56 to my present age of 80. Everlasting
Rose provides you with hope and disease prevention tools and techniques to
overcome the odds. With all these conditions it was determined that I had a
1 in 1,000 chance of survival. My mission is to help you with your journey.

About the Author

In the beginning I was a Catholic Italian girl, growing up in a sheltered
Italian community and in the end, I had traveled extensively in the United
States and Europe.  My education as a nurse with a Bachelor’s and
Masters afforded me opportunities to experience many aspects of health care:
teaching, administration, sales, and consulting. However, at age 56 I was
diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and my long tortuous journey through
disease after disease began. During these years I endured much pain,
suffering and anxiety. However, I always stayed positive, even joyful and
hopeful for the next day. I am now 80 and would like to share my
unbelievable survival story with you.
