Patient - to - Patient, Creating Medical Awareness

 
Dedication

To all of you that have held my hand through adversities. For all of you I have sat next to under hours of treatment that are no longer here to rejoice with me. To the hospitals and medical teams that have tolerated me as a patient throughout cancer. To my family and friends, the strangers that smiled and acknowledged me when I was bald, faded, and lacked identity. To Lamar Advertising Company for promoting Gutzky Girl website in creating medical awareness and Petro TV for creating medical awareness for my father Paul A LeBlanc MISSING. To all of those that participated in this book's development through the years of being isolated as a patient. To the physicians that donated resources for the billboards along the interstate and highways. To the “SPECIAL” doctors that helped me through the darkest of moments. To those crazy chemo girls that referred to chemo as a “chemo cocktail” when petrified of the first infusion, my family of adopted friends, gypsies, belly dancers, foster girls, nurses, and strangers that stepped forward when all others were afraid or SICK of cancer! To honor Marlene Breaux Evans. To the roommates that helped me survive financially as cancer is costly. To the cab driver that respectfully and safely taken me home when I was afraid to bother anyone for a ride. There are many that will go unmentioned but a special thank you to my father and Grandma Blanc for making me a fighter - to not go out this world without kicking and screaming as a Gutzky Girl! I hope that one day I will have the answers as to why he is still a missing person. And last of all, my special Lee Anna - an unexpected gift.

“Speak Slow I've had Chemo” filled me with purpose and inspiration.

 
This book's purpose is intended to help those that are stifled and immobilized by a disease state or event. “Speak Slow I've had Chemo,” evolved when I was in a crisis! At my darkest moment this book evolved to comfort those coping with a cancer diagnosis with a limited support system. When undergoing chemotherapy or intense medical treatment you become compromised and you are at a loss of words. Chemo brain is defined as “an often-unexpected side effect of cancer treatment that leaves many patients experiencing debilitating cognitive effects after chemotherapy.” Beverly Burmeier
 
From a glamorous pharmaceutical sales career once specializing in female healthcare to being rejected in the food stamp line, bald and under chemo Susan LeBlanc is instrumental in capturing menopausal audiences, cancer audiences, and delicate divas by sharing her tumultuous ride through life. The unique trait she carries and delivers to audiences is passion and a desire to keep thriving through unusual adversities such as having a parent missing never to be found. Susan LeBlanc—Creating Medical Awareness—“In a less medicinal way!” She is a stellar performer, with theatrical flair inspiring others to survive their adversities.
 
The Gutzky Girl continues to survive many adverse events and so will
YOU!
