About this product

Product Information

Diagsed with a rare disease that only affects between two and ten people per million, Marie Conley used emails to communicate with family, friends, and co-workers to keep them apprised of the diagsis and progsis of Cushing's disease and the many complications she experienced on this journey. Her ironic humor and raw, emotional approach helps bring hope to those touched by this rare and unrelenting disease. In her mid-thirties, Conley, who strived to keep herself healthy while maintaining the delicate balance of raising a young child, keeping a home, and a demanding career, began to experience a variety of unexplained maladies inconsistent with her life style. Because of the elusive nature of Cushing's disease, the treatment is a long and complicated process of trial and error. At this time, there is cure, largely due to the fact that Cushing's disease is considered an -orphan disease.- As is her nature, she has decided to -adopt- this -orphan- and is doing everything she can to bring awareness to this disease. Conley's tenacious spirit and determination would t allow this insidious disease to triumph over her life. Armed with her laptop as the only weapon available in the sterility of the recovery room, the author attacks the keyboard with a vengeance to let friends and family kw that in this battle, there is surrender.
