Advocacy Heals U is the seventh book by Author, Speaker, Radio Host, and Healthcare Advocate Joni Aldrich. Joni speaks to the world through her books and international radio programs (available live and on demand at W4WN.com, W4CS.com, iHeart.com, and UKHealthRadio. com), including Cancer S.O.S., Treatment S.O.S., and Advocacy Heals U. She advocates for advocates, patient awareness, patient engagement, cancer families, caregiver rights, and cancer care legislation in honor of her husband and mother who were both lost to cancer.
Joni’s Event began when her 43-year-old husband was diagnosed with multiple myeloma (a deadly and painful form of blood cancer). As they set out to try to save Gordon (The Saving of Gordon; Lifelines to W-I-N Against Cancer), they encountered many costly pitfalls in the cancer healthcare system. After months of failed “standard” treatment for Gordon’s aggressive cancer, they finally found the right oncologist. But it was too late. Gordon’s cancer spread to his brain, and he lost his struggle for life. The tragic, costly lessons they experienced through the cancer steep learning curve didn’t save Gordon, but Joni was determined to help others be empowered, alert and involved patients and caregivers to facilitate the best chance of survival for others who hear the words “you have cancer”.visualizza meno
