About the Book: I Chose Live
In I Chose Live, Mike Coy delivers more than just a memoir; he provides a roadmap for anyone facing the “unthinkable.” After a sudden stage 4 cancer diagnosis, Mike’s world was turned upside down. However, instead of surrendering to the statistics, he chose a path of radical resilience and informed action.
This book delves deep into the importance of cancer prevention through early detection and lifestyle choices. Mike advocates for being your own best healthcare advocate, sharing the specific questions and mindsets that helped him navigate the complex medical system. His story is a testament to the power of the human spirit when paired with clinical excellence and a refusal to give up.
Beyond the medical journey, I Chose Live explores the psychological aspects of survival. Mike highlights how positive mindset and a commitment to “living” rather than just “surviving” can alter one’s trajectory. Whether you are a patient, a caregiver, or someone looking for inspiration to overcome corporate or personal hurdles, the lessons on resilience and choice are universal.
Readers will find practical advice on maintaining emotional health, the role of community support, and how to find humor and hope in the darkest of times. Mike Coy’s journey from a professional athlete and business leader to a cancer warrior offers a unique perspective on grit that is both humbling and empowering.
