At the age of 23, DeeDee Kindley faced the most fearful and challenging experience of her life. She was diagnosed with a tumor, the size of a large grapefruit, wrapped around her heart. Encountering many trials and tribulations, DeeDee found purpose and meaning in her diagnosis. With a core desire to live, she summoned courage and strength from within her to confront emotionally and physically difficult circumstances while maintaining an unwavering belief in her ability to live. Heart Knots ~ The Story of a True Survivor details her experience of being diagnosed with cancer, how she fought for recovery, relationships she developed along the way and how she survived. It is based on a journal she kept during her nine day stay in the hospital and throughout her experience and was written with the hope of letting cancer patients know they are not alone and there are actions they can take to fight for their recovery. It includes three sections. Part one details her story and, through a passionate desire to live life, is a testimony to the human spirit. Part two demystifies the disease and includes what DeeDee believes her "secrets" of survival to be, cancer facts and fiction including how therapeutic support groups affect survival, and describes the role of an active patient. The final section serves as a reference guide filled with important resources for cancer patients and their families or caregivers. - from Amzon
