At 41 years old, Katie was diagnosed with inoperable, terminal brain cancer. She immediately started writing a daily diary to inform her friends and family of her health and ongoing treatment. That daily blog was so therapeutic for her that she continued writing it for four years, chronicling everything from her diagnosis and treatment to her physical, mental, and spiritual transformation as well as evolving relationships with family and friends. She survived through tears, laughter, support, and sheer will—and is here to tell you how.
