Up for the Fight

Up for the Fight is a five-time survivor's guide to navigating your cancer journey.

If you or your loved one are one of the 18 million people worldwide diagnosed with cancer each year, you know exactly how overwhelming and scary the journey is.

In this valuable patient and caregiver guide, Bill Potts—entrepreneur, business leader, IRONMAN triathlete, and five-time cancer survivor—tells you everything you need to know to take on this fight. With empathy and honesty, he explains exactly what to expect and shares lessons and important tips you can put into action all the way: from diagnosis, to treatment, to remission, to cure—and how to face setbacks on your road to recovery.

You'll learn how to advocate for yourself, manage your care team, and care for yourself emotionally and mentally. You'll find out how to make treatment days more comfortable, manage side effects, and understand test results. You'll also find important information on diet, exercise, wellness, and staying active, as well as insights on how treatment and disease affect your immune system.

With special sections for people wanting to support a loved one with cancer, facing and making peace with death, and recalibrating your priorities to get the most out of the life you have now, you'll gain the knowledge and tools you need to manage this journey—from someone who is walking the path alongside you.
