So Far So Good

<p>Pete Nadherny was the CEO of his own business in Cincinnati when he learned he had a brain tumor. His wife and the author of this book Kathy was a bank executive who traveled every week as part of her job. About their story <em>So Far So Good</em> she writes: When Pete found his brain tumor we both realized that 'this changed everything.' Both of us quit working. Pete's prognosis was grim. He had a grade IV Glioblastoma Multiforme brain tumor with an estimated life expectancy of six to eleven months. So began the journey captured in this memoir. Pete had two brain surgeries participated in a clinical trial had six weeks of radiation over thirty MRIs had blood clots and nearly died once of pneumonia. Pete's attitude toward his illness was amazing. He was a fighter always focused on living not dying. When people asked how he was doing he would say So Far So Good. Pete lived twenty-five months and we had an amazing adventure together. Details of Pete's treatment and our trips are captured real time in the carepage entries we made to allow those following us to stay current over these twenty-five months. The carepage entries are included in the book. Our site had over 26000 hits over those twenty-five months. Pete's death on Jan 26 2008 was described on our carepage. The other dimension to this memoir is the spiritual journey Pete and I experienced as Pete faced his own death. <em>So Far So Good</em> is a love story about two people coping with an awful disease together deepening our love for each other along the way.
