HOW ARE YOU?

MANAGE YOUR OWN
MEDICAL JOURNEY
BY
PATRICIA FOOTE

Book Information:One in 10 people will go to the hospital this year.  Yet we receive no training for how to be a patient or how to navigate the professional medical world. The book How are You?  Manage Your Own Medical Journey empowers the reader to be informed, proactive, and at peace with a serious medical crisis.  The fascinating role and complex issues of genetics, life with a chronic illness and relationships are described in an honest, thought-provoking account of one woman's journey with a rare genetic cancer syndrome, von Hippel-Lindau disease.  Readers will benefit from the practical how-to check lists that are provided at the end of each chapter.  Patients need not merely survive, but can thrive in life after or with a serious medical condition.
"After reading this book, you may never use the question, 'How are you?' in the same casual way again."

-- Joyce Graff, Co-Chair,
VHL Family Alliance

"This book is a milestone in the arena of self-help and patient advocacy.  It is a wellness handbook for every person."
 --Dr. William Kintner,
Pacific Southwest Regional Genetics Network
"By sharing an intensely personal journey, the author offers information and inspiration that will no doubt decrease the suffering of other survivors."
-- Susan Leigh, R.N., Past President,
National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship
