Joseph (Joe) McNolty has had the unique experience of being a caregiver to a loved one with serious illnesses and a cancer patient himself. Those experiences gave him the remarkable opportunity to uncover "a sick prejudice"- the isolating behavior born out of our misguided emotions and stereotypes about the seriously ill. His wife of 27 years, Ann, lived from 2001-2013 with thymoma cancer, myasthenia gravis, chronic pain, and numerous related complications. Joe was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2012. He is doing very well after having two rounds of treatments. In addition to writing, Joe's active lifestyle includes working out, biking, dancing, playing the didgeridoo, hiking, and kayaking. His first career was in corporate research and marketing. With this book, he is pursuing his dream of writing and improving the lives of others.
