The life that matters is the one we're living now.

SURVIVOR'S GRATITUDE

THE GIFTS OF CANCER,
CLARITY, AND CONNECTION

This is a book about cancer.

And it isn't.

In 2016, Andy Nelson was diagnosed with stage IV cancer and given odds that made the future look frighteningly short.

What followed was not a straight path toward triumph. It was surgeries and chemotherapy. Recurrences and reprieves. Fear and determination. Anger and gratitude. Family, faith, music, friendship, laughter — and the persistent discovery that some of life's greatest gifts can exist right alongside its hardest moments.

Survivor's Gratitude is Andy's honest, funny, vulnerable account of what happened when the life he had planned became the life he could never have planned.

There’s more to Andy’s story than cancer:

He’s a husband and dad, an executive coach and leadership developer, a musician, speaker, writer, friend — and someone who genuinely loves connecting with people.

Cancer has become part of his story. It has never become the whole story.
