At the Cervivor Survivor Summit I read from my book for the first time in front of 150 cervical cancer patients survivors and advocates. I started with the dedication. I did not expect what happened next.
Half the room cried. I cried too. In that moment the book stopped being a manuscript and became a shared experience shaped by people who have lived every denial every bill every delay.
We the Patients: Understanding Navigating and Surviving America’s Healthcare Nightmare releases May 2026 from Wiley. This video captures the moment I realized the book belongs to the community it was written for and why the patient voice will define what comes next.
