Advocacy Heals U

15 Keys to Fast Track Results and Emotional Fulfillment NOTICE: Be advised that reading this book can change your life. The authors take full responsibility for positive side-affects. The Event: The unthinkable has happened. We all have adversity, but this is different. It?s not a tap on your bumper; this is a head-on collision. The Event can be a diagnosis, medical error, natural disaster, childhood trauma, and so forth. The Need: You learned something critical that other people need to know, or that you feel compelled to act on. The rose colored glasses are off, offering a different viewpoint on family, health, security or even politics. The Call: Human reaction is to file trauma away in a drawer marked private?. Advocacy means that you will not only open that drawer, but you will relive the Event often for the benefit of others, a Humane reaction. It isn't easy. Healing is a gradual process. If we nurture our natural courage that sustains us, we can begin to transform even the most impossible of circumstances into survival. You can't change the Event, but you can make something good come out of it.

Joni James Aldrich Aristotle said, "Where your talents and the needs of the world cross lies your calling." We are born with a path to our own destiny. Some roads we choose. Some roads are chosen for us. Either way, it's best to embrace our calling with all of our heart and soul. 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”.
