Fascinating chronicle
“Dawn,
what a fascinating chronicle that you have portrayed. I could not put
it down and read it in one sitting. It is hard to believe what Al and
you and your family have endured. Congratulations on being that patient
advocate and helping Al achieve that "new life".

...it will help me find "my voice"
It's almost 2:00 in the morning and I've just finished your book! WOW!! It was amazing and I could not put it down! Thank you for sharing your family's journey this with us. I
know it will help me find "my voice" as undoubtedly we will all be in a
position of needing or being an advocate at some time or another.
Congratulations Dawn and Allen! Wishing you and your family good
health!

Well done
I
started to read your book last night Dawn. Well done! I love the pace
you have developed and how the story is unfolding with just enough
detail. Sure does illustrate your points – lessons learned. I’m so
sure this book will be an inspiration for many. I sure hope people
advocate enough to either increase the capacity of the medical system
or maybe better yet – increase the efficiency, accountability and
compassion for those using it.

Highly Commended
I
couldn’t put your book down! I really did start reading it on Monday
nite when we got home and finished “Your Journey” on Tues. afternoon.
I am in awe – certainly with your skill as an author but more in awe to
actually read every step you took to get you to where you are now! You
are to be highly commended for your action and the incredible
responsibility you took on. I have scanned the second part of your
book and can see where it would be a tremendous help to anyone needing
to know where to start or how to continue, for that matter!

"applicable to any health situation"
I'm half way thru the book and am very glad you wrote this Dawn. It's applicable to any health situation and will be a guidance manual for families in distress for years to come. Well done!

"it will be people's bible"
I got a copy of your book and I can't put it
down. What a great job. I can see this to be a great reference to
others. I really feel it will be a great help to anyone going through a
trying time with someone you love. Itisso well written and easy to understand and the
personal touch makes it so much more real. It will be people's
bible.

"found it extremely helpful"
I finished the book. I couldn't stop. I found it extremely helpful and
the resources listed were great. I will use this frequently in my work as
community contact and with my other cancer work.
