At age twenty-eight, Kelli Davis is young, in a promising relationship, and has just embarked on an exciting, fulfilling career that she is passionate about and is taking her places. Then, one night, she is rushed to the emergency room for severe pain in her arm, and is discharged three hours later with a completely unexpected diagnosis: cancer.
Disposition—Discharged: The patient was discharged ambulatory accompanied by significant other. The significant other is ready, alert, and willing to learn. The patient’s diagnosis, condition, and treatment were explained to the patient and the patient expressed understanding.
With doctors by her side, Kelli finds comfort in adhering to a strict medical plan, but there is no prescription for how to live life after cancer. Porcelain Soldier: Finding Gratitude in Cancer is an intimate, honest journey that follows Kelli as she attempts to answer the questions “Why did I get cancer?” and “What am I supposed to learn from it?”, allowing readers to see and feel her struggles to regain a so-called normal life.
If Kelli were to walk out of those same hospital doors today, she would rewrite her discharge report this way:
Disposition—Discharged: The patient was discharged ambulatory accompanied by a greater sense of being. The future significant other will appreciate vulnerability, celebrate wisdom, and mean the words “in sickness and in health.” The patient’s diagnosis, condition, and treatment were explained to the patient and the patient expressed understanding, gratefulness, desire to recognize and appreciate the lessons cancer has to offer, and a great outlook on tomorrow.
A book written from the heart, Porcelain Soldier gives a glimpse inside the delicate balance of strength and frailty that exists when battling cancer.
