Passion Struck with John R. Miles

Having a cancer diagnosis can be an overwhelming and transformative event for many people. Today, John is conducting an interview with his friend Bill Potts, who has been fighting cancer for the past 20 years. His latest book, "Up for the Fight: How to Stand Up for Yourself During Your Cancer Battle," details the invaluable insights he has gained and underscores the significance of self-advocacy for cancer patients.

Every year, millions of individuals worldwide receive a cancer diagnosis, with a staggering 18 million new cases annually. If you or someone you care about is among those diagnosed, you know how overwhelming, frightening, and confusing it can be to navigate the journey from diagnosis to treatment, prognosis, and the accompanying emotions.

During our conversation, Bill shares his own cancer story, as well as those of others, providing a comprehensive guide to help you take on this fight. With empathy and honesty, Potts outlines precisely what to expect and offers valuable lessons and essential tips you can implement, from diagnosis and treatment to remission and cure, including how to overcome setbacks on the road to recovery.
