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.

 

Review

This was an interesting look into the world of medicine and how to give yourself a better chance to not end up with certain issues. Definitely a lot that I was not familiar with. I liked that Rose Murphy knew her audience may not have first hand knowledge and was able to dumb it down a bit while still conveying her story and giving helpful information.

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.
