EMPOWER YOURSELF
WITH HOPE, INSPIRATION AND KNOWLEDGE
Driven To Help You
Arlene M. Karole, FACHE, CHCP, CMP, MSA
Whether it be taking control of a diagnosis of cancer, cardiovascular disease, alzheimer’s, diabetes or any illness, let us empower ourselves, in part, by learning about our illness and examining the lifestyle choices we make on a daily basis that may influence our health in a good or not-so-good way.
Awareness, playing a proactive role, and fully engaging in our day-to-day behaviors and following the path of preventive healthcare is easier to achieve, as opposed to the path of getting better once we have a medical diagnosis. We have choice and control.
There is a major paradigm shift in healthcare happening. We are patients and we are
consumers. We want to live our best lives—taking ownership and responsibility for our health, wellness and well-being—mind, body, spirit and soul—a comprehensive holistic whole-person approach, makes this possible.
Together working with our providers towards patient-centered health care and shared decision-making (SDM) as we educate ourselves along our continuum of care from diagnosis to healing and beyond —WE GOT THIS!
Being your own advocate became a reality for me during my own battle with cancer. For those who are looking for a resource that can help them take control of their diagnosis, I recommend taking advantage of this special offer and reading my recently published book Just Diagnosed: Breast Cancer.
Just Diagnosed: Breast Cancer
In Just Diagnosed: Breast Cancer, Karole uses incredible candor, an often-humorous approach, and a great deal of vulnerability to speak to her readers. She provides resources, checklists, and definitions. This book is a road map, a step-by-step guide on what you can expect, what you need to know, and what to do next—from initial diagnosis through the difficult decisions ahead.
In book stores you can find Just Diagnosed in these sections:
• Medical/Oncology, Breast Cancer
• Medical/Disease, Cancer
• Self Help, Motivational/Inspirational
