Surviving Chronic Pancreatitis: What Every Veteran Needs to Know is more than a book-it is a companion for those battling the stealthy and persistent foe that is chronic pancreatitis (CP).

Written from the trenches of personal experience, this guide offers a candid account of navigating a life reshaped by a relentless illness.

Once anchored in a life of structure and health, I was blindsided by a condition that demanded a reevaluation of everything I knew about well-being.

This book is my personal beacon, born from the chaos of navigating a new reality with CP. I share my private battle, drawing from the depths of my journals, heartfelt conversations with family, and the stark revelations in my medical records.

Herein lies not just my story, but a survival kit packed with insights for fellow veterans. From decoding complex healthcare decisions to asserting your rights to veteran benefits-this book is your ally.

I invite you to join me in these pages, where I've distilled my struggles and victories into a blueprint for resilience.
