SAN RAFAEL, Calif. - Californer -- In her medical memoir "Blood Brother," releasing August 17, 2021 from TouchPoint Press, Susan Keller explores the miseries and miracles of lymphoma and the search for her estranged brother, the one person who can save her life.
"Blood Brother" is heavily focused on the Patient Journey, a term describing a patient's interaction with the healthcare system from diagnosis to recovery. Keller says that the Patient Journey is a critical topic in the medical community today adding that her memoir, "looks intimately, humorously, and brutally at issues such as physician-patient communication, trust, and medical errors; metrics on which healthcare providers are measured and are deeply concerned."
About the Book
As a happily married, professional woman, I had it all—until the devastating lymphoma. During moments when my survival was uncertain, I questioned the nature of death and fate and faith. After months of punishing chemotherapy, I still needed a Bone Marrow Transplant to eradicate the cancer. But the only person in the world who could donate and save my life was my brother, Johnny, who'd vanished thirty years before.
