"I found In Sickness and In Health to be an amazing story, well written and extremely moving. I've been 'there' and can relate to your experiences. Your book is powerful and will no doubt inspire others to fight through this horrible disease."

"This memoir exhibits the unconditional love between a couple with a passion for life, as they travel down that 'long and winding road.' It will really make you believe that 'it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.'"

"To share their journey through Joe's beautiful and sensitive writings is very special! He not only reflects on the medical aspects, but also on the incredible relationship they shared together as husband and wife, and best friends. Throughout their journey, they continued to give each other the strength, at times the tenderness and humor to meet each challenge. Joe, may all my patients have the unselfish support, devotion, and love that Susan had from you."

""In Sickness and In Health: A Memoir of Love" is a tender love story about one couple's journey through the maze of breast cancer and the war they declared against it. It is at times humorous and uplifting with accounts of zany, madcap events, juxtaposed against the frightening diagnosis, treatments and the recurrence of cancer, and how through it all, their undying love for each other prevailed and even flourished. It is a story of Sue and Joe, two courageous, intelligent, and loveable people trying to live a normal family life filled with hope and joy, despite the heart wrenching diagnosis and the inescapable end that would surely come."

"Your story is beautiful and heart wrenching. The love that you shared with Sue was an incredible thing to read about — it seemed to me to be the kind of love that everyone dreams of having. You have an incredible voice and power in your words. At times, your prose grabbed my heart and would not let go, while other times you made me laugh out loud."
