“When cancer comes knocking on your door as it did for me, you’ll want Kathy Giusti in your war chest to have a fighting chance.” —Tom Brokaw
“It’s the ultimate guide to go from WTF to What To Do.” — Maria Menounos
With a foreword by Katie Couric
Part medical memoir, part practical how-to, Giusti’s FATAL TO FEARLESS is packed with the hard-won knowledge she’s gleaned over the years. She distills her lessons into 12 steps for navigating America’s opaque, bureaucratic healthcare system, walking readers through what to do (WTD) to understand a diagnosis, find the best medical team, get the right tests and treatments, access new therapies and clinical trials, all while navigating your portal, optimizing your insurance, and preserving your energy. Each step is supported with advice from leading experts at the forefront of today’s cancer care. And through her own harrowing personal story of surviving cancer twice, Giusti exposes the profound emotional cost cancer can have on marriage, family, and friendship. Looking back through journals she kept from the day she was diagnosed, she faces what she did well, what she did wrong, and what she didn’t do at all. She wrote this book so any patient can benefit from what she has learned.
Kathy Giusti is living proof that if you take the right steps, you can change the course of a frightening diagnosis. FATAL TO FEARLESS offers the concrete tools and inspiration to fear less and live more.
