What happens when survival becomes more than medicine alone?
Still Stubborn. Still Here. is a raw and emotionally powerful memoir about love, cancer, caregiving, and the impossible decisions people make when the person they love is fighting for their life.
When Ken is diagnosed with aggressive rectal cancer, life instantly fractures into before and after. As chemotherapy, radiation, surgeries, and devastating side effects begin taking a brutal toll on his body, Katie and Ken are forced into a world of fear, uncertainty, and impossible choices. But behind the scenes, while navigating conventional cancer treatment, they also begin researching integrative approaches, repurposed medications, and unconventional therapies in a desperate attempt to support Ken's fight for survival.
This is not a book about rejecting medicine.
It is a deeply human story about what happens when patients and caregivers refuse to stop asking questions.
Told with brutal honesty, dark humor, emotional vulnerability, and unwavering authenticity, Still Stubborn. Still Here. explores:
- The emotional reality of caregiving
- Cancer treatment and its devastating physical toll
- Identity loss and survival
- Medical trauma and resilience
- Integrative and alternative cancer support approaches
- Love, loyalty, and rebuilding life after crisis
- The psychological aftermath of survival
At its core, this memoir is not about having all the answers.
It is about surviving long enough to keep searching for them.
