Globe-trotting reporter, party girl and empty nester Kate Rice has escaped a miserable marriage. She's started a new life: singing with a rock band and planning to leave the city to be a ski bum again. Then she gets a stage 4 cancer diagnosis and six months to live. And then she discovers the healing power of totally unleashing her own badassery.
She'd been chasing her dreamssinging in a rock band, doing stand-up comedy, and completing a seventeen-mile run over a 13,000-foot mountain in Colorado. How could she have cancer? And not just any cancer, but anaplastic thyroid cancer, one of the fastest growing and most aggressive cancers with a median survival rate of four months.
But anaplastic thyroid cancer never met Kate Rice. She embraces her curesurgeries, radiation, chemo and immunotherapywith irreppressible joie de vivre.
By turns poignant and laugh-out-loud funny, Cured chronicles a woman's transcendental and against-the-odds triumph of a good girl discovering the healing power of her own badassery.
Rice does more than look at beating cancer. She looks at the culture that caused it. Like so many women, she was raised to put others first, to deny her pain and delay her dreams. That meant that this outgoing woman silenced herself herself in her most intimate relationship: her marriage. She ignored her pain and did all she could to appease her husband in a vain effort to save a doomed marriage. Reasearch shows that self silencing makes woman sick. And it this book, Rice tells it all and encourages women everywhere to do the same: sstand up for what they want, express their emotions honestly so they can be their true selves: strong and healthy women.
