Diagnosed with a rare blood cancer known as myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN), Ruth Fein Revell has navigated the complexities of her illness while raising her children and pursuing a career as a freelance writer. All while living over 30 years with chronic cancer and society's stigma\/lack of understanding of all that goes with that journey. Ruth has made a conscious choice not to become her diagnosis, even though it is with her daily. She passionately discusses the need for a shift in how society perceives cancer. 'A prognosis is very often just a number. No one knows how long you're going to live,' she asserts, challenging the conventional views surrounding cancer prognosis.  Perhaps the hardest part of any chronic disease is the sense of isolation. While friends and family may rally around during the initial diagnosis, long term support often fades away. Ruth offers a different look at managing chronic illness.     It's an Award Winning, Amazon  best selling book!   What they're saying:   \u201cThis is a beautiful book about life, its imperfections, its challenges, and its joys.
