I'm Not Dead Yet

I’m Not Dead Yet! is a raw, hope-filled chronicle of the moment everything changed and the years that followed. It’s the story of waking up on New Year’s Eve 2009 to a diagnosis that could have ended the conversation — and choosing, instead, to begin a new one. A louder one. A braver one. A more honest one.


This book follows your early cancer journey with humor, grit, and the kind of emotional truth most people only admit to themselves in the quiet hours. It’s the seat-of-the-chair fear before a scan. The small victories no one else sees. The laughter that keeps you breathing. The family who walks in beside you. And the stunning realization that life doesn’t shrink after a diagnosis — it sharpens.

I’m Not Dead Yet! is not just a survivor’s story.

It’s a declaration.

A dare.

A reminder that being alive is an active verb.


This is the middle book of the trilogy — the turning point where resilience becomes a practice, connection becomes a lifeline, and your voice becomes something you use not just to survive, but to serve.

Who I'm Not Dead Yet! Is For

The Takeaway from I'm Not Dead Yet!

The Takeaway from I'm Not Dead Yet!

I’m Not Dead Yet is for anyone who’s ever had life knock the wind out of them and wondered, “Okay… now what?” It speaks to people living with illness, caring for someone they love, or trying to make sense of a world that suddenly looks very different than it did the day before.


It’s for:

• Patients who need a companion who gets it — the scans, the fear, the exhaustion, the ridiculous humor that saves you at the last minute.


• Caregivers who walk into every appointment carrying someone else’s hope in their hands.


• Family members who want to understand what their loved one is really going through beneath the brave face.


• Medical professionals who want a window into the emotional side of survivorship they don’t always get to see.


• Anyone facing their own “New Year’s Eve moment” — the moment a diagnosis, loss, change, or crisis splits life into a Before and After.


And it’s also for people who just need proof that resilience doesn’t mean being fearless — it means staying in the room with your own life, even when everything in you wants to run.


Most of all, I’m Not Dead Yet is for anyone who needs to hear that being alive is not a status…

it’s a practice.

The Takeaway from I'm Not Dead Yet!

The big message of I’m Not Dead Yet! is this:

a diagnosis may change your life, but it doesn’t get to define it.


You walk away understanding that:

• Fear and hope can live in the same room — and you can still choose hope.


• Resilience isn’t heroic; it’s daily. It’s getting up, showing up, and letting people love you on the days you can’t carry the load alone.


• Humor is survival. Laughter isn’t denial — it’s oxygen.


• You don’t shrink after a diagnosis — you sharpen. Life becomes clearer, priorities truer, relationships deeper.


• Being alive is not a passive condition. It’s a verb, a decision you practice one scan, one conversation, one breath at a time.


Most of all, the takeaway is this:

You get to write your story — even when cancer tries to steal the pen.
