The ultimate handbook for surviving cancer while thriving! Fitz's story is proof that anyone can endure hardships better by utilizing perspective, passion, and positivity. This is a must-have tale of triumph for every patient, survivor, caregiver, and runner! Finding a cancerous lump in her breast seven weeks after a clean mammogram was terrifying. But fitness expert and race announcer Fitz Koehler refused to play the victim or allow cancer to steal her extraordinary career or time with family. In My Noisy Cancer Comeback, Fitz reveals the juicy and gory details of her 16-month battle, all while zigzagging across the United States. Enduring chemotherapy, radiation, and surgeries in the public eye wasn't easy. You'll laugh, cry, wince, and cheer as she chronicles the clash of an avalanche of side effects with 22 major race weekends. Her inspirational tale encompasses the terror of diagnosis, bald heads and black dresses, spectacular stages, parenting with cancer, perspective, and, most importantly, triumph. You'll walk away grittier, more optimistic, and inspired to conquer any obstacle.
