At fifty-seven, Dr. Carol Turner was in peak health and avidly participating in the full gamut of outdoor sports that Colorado has to offer. Then, on her way to watch her sons compete in the state's annual high school mountain bike championship, she pulled into a gas station, received a call from her doctor, and learned that she had cancer. As a doctor herself, she instantly knew that what was to come would have personal and universal significance, and started taking notes immediately, from the passenger seat of the car. Those notes turned into this book―a candid, unvarnished chronicle of her cancer journey, from diagnosis to recovery.
In Waldy, Myelo, & Me, Dr. Turner courageously shares her remarkable journey of resilience, hope, and triumph over two rare blood disorders: Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia and Myelodysplastic Syndrome. With unwavering determination and a heart full of positivity, Dr. Turner takes readers on a compelling ride through her experiences, offering insights and inspiration for anyone facing similar health challenges.
Dr. Turner's Waldy, Myelo, & Me is an empowering testament to the human spirit's capacity to overcome life's most daunting challenges. With candor, wisdom, and a touch of humor, this book is a must-read for anyone seeking inspiration and guidance on their own path to healing and resilience.
