Produktbeschreibung
On a cold December morning, Dr. Katz awoke to a voice screaming in her head, "Look in the mirror, damn it!" Dutifully she went to the mirror and was shocked to see a growth on the right side of her neck. Suddenly, the months of pain, insomnia, fatigue, and night sweats she had brushed off as menopause and pandemic fatigue morphed into something much more frightening. Cancer. OK, It's My Turn Now takes the reader on a very personal journey from that fateful morning through Dr. Katz's entire experience with Hodgkin's lymphoma from diagnosis to completion of chemotherapy. As a medical practitioner of over 20 years, she offers the unique dual perspective of both a cancer patient and a doctor. With wit, grit, and a bit of humor, this book gives the reader an intimate and candid look at the whole process, complete with all the feels, "insider secrets", setbacks, and triumphs. Determined to turn even cancer into a teachable moment, Dr. Katz hopes this book will serve as a metaphorical flashlight to guide others through this scary illness with dignity, empathy, honesty, and above all, hope.

Dr. Laura A. Katz is a solo-obgyn in Monroe, MI where she lives with her husband and two daughters. She has been practicing medicine for over 20 years and has cared for women and girls of all ages with a wide range of health issues ranging from general ob care to cancer. She also owns a thriving aesthetic medicine business. She has made it her mission to care for and empower every woman she meets to live healthy and fulfilled, which is the same goal she sets for herself. When she is not practicing medicine, she actively volunteers with her local cancer support group, soaks up as much family time as possible, blogs, writes poetry, podcasts, and enjoys her garden.
