Susan captures and shares these major life changes in a truly accessible way. The prognosis for her particular cancer was dismal and her recovery arduous. But Susan presents the process with insight and even humor and joy. Blood Brother provides beautiful lessons, for doctor and patient alike.”

The Physician’s Powerful Role in the Patient Journey
“As a cancer survivor myself, I had goosebumps as I relived Susan’s experience learning the seriousness of her diagnosis and prevailing through treatment. A beautiful story of the strength of the human spirit and fierce determination to live. I hope that others who have been faced with a cancer diagnosis will also find inspiration, healing, and closure in reading this most compelling memoir.
As a physician, I trust that other medical professionals who read Blood Brother will understand the full scope of the Patient Journey and the healthcare providers’ powerful role within it. This book is insightful and illuminating. I highly recommend it to all readers.”

Blood Brother is a must read for oncologists and other providers who believe their only responsibility is to treat the patient’s medical symptoms. It will inform and enrich the professional lives of those across the healthcare spectrum, adding depth and meaning to their days and producing better outcomes for patients.
