Kickapoo Juice & Other Potions Kerry Klein

Welcome to the poignant, witty and courageous story of our sister Kerry's battle with cancer. Inside these pages you will discover the series of newsletters which Kerry sent out throughout her treatment to family, friends and colleagues. She travelled the rocky terrain of diagnosis, treatment and more treatment, chronicling the ups and downs of her search for a cure. Along with the devoted care and guidance of her husband Richard, she navigated her way through a complex medical system and a myriad of interventions. Her journey was heroic and her sense of humor unfailing.

Interspersed between updates on the many medical appointments that she had, Kerry tells us of her life and her travels. She was able to set aside her illness and enjoy the good days, relishing whatever bits of happiness she found. She created comic relief in the midst of her ordeal, quite a rarity. This kept her spirits up.

Kerry's newsletter group created a support system for her of people who would laugh with her, cry at times and pray when it was most needed. We hope reading these pages will inspire you to face whatever challenges and adversities beset you with an open heart, lots of hope and a sense of humor.
