She survived and remained cancer-free for many years. She spent her time traveling around the country speaking about her experiences. Unfortunately, I heard that in recent years the cancer came back and that she is not doing so well. I will post when I find the articles. There have been recent news stories about Jerri Nielsen.

Would be interested if there are any update articles or other publications on Dr. Nielsen today. I enjoyed this book very much when I first read it.
