Tonight Mo will be in Rock Island, Illinois signing books with sarcoma patient and new author, Laura Koppenhoefer. Mo wrote the forward for her book “Notes on the Journey: Living with Sarcoma and Hope” and all proceeds go towards his sarcoma research program. Below is a brief summary of the book from Laura herself.
“When I show up at the clinic for appointments and chemotherapy, the day starts with lab work. Within the hour Dr. Mo will know what is going on “inside me” and make decisions about my care. This all seems routine to me now. Three years ago at my diagnosis of sarcoma nothing was routine. I started writing on Carepages.com to help me sort out this journey with cancer, and communicate that journey with my congregation, family and friends.
Three years later, I am still living with sarcoma and know a lot more about myself than what shows up on lab tests. I know about courage, hope, my faith, my need for community, the importance of top rate medical care at a sarcoma center, how to “read” what my body needs, and more. I also know that we don’t know enough about sarcoma.
“Notes on the Journey: Living with Sarcoma & Hope” is a compilation of updates from my Carepages, with a foreword written by Dr. Mo. All of the proceeds from the sale of this book are going to support sarcoma research at the University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center. To learn more about this effort, buy a book, link to my Carepage or other sarcoma resources, check out the Foundation’s page at www.LivingInHopeFoundation.org.”
You can also purchase Laura’s book on Amazon.com.
The book signing is from 6:30-8:30pm tonight at St. John’s Lutheran Church, 4501 7th Avenue in Rock Island. Mo will make a few remarks at 7pm.
