Author Talk: Jan Adrian
October 8, 2023 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Free
The Avid Reader is partnering with Thriving Pink to bring Jan Adrian to Davis on October 8 at 3:00PM to talk about her new memoir, Coloring Outside the Lines: Surviving and Thriving with Cancer for 30+ years.
About the Author:
As a survivor of three primary cancers (breast cancer and ocular melonoma) and several recurrences, Jan wanted to focus on healing the whole person instead of just curing the body. She created the free Cancer as a Turning Point, From Surviving To Thriving™ conference to address this need. She is the founder and director of Healing Journeys. She was previously the co-director of the Center for Health Awareness, in San Jose, CA.
About the Book:
Jan’s purpose in writing this book is to stimulate hope and curiosity in you, the reader. Jan has had three primary cancers since 1989—breast cancer in both breasts and ocular melanoma—and more recurrences than she can count. Breast cancer metastasized to her lungs in 2011. Her story is about living fully and thriving with cancer. Most of the stories in this book are about events in Jan’s life that helped to form or strengthen the attitudes, beliefs, and lifestyle that have been major resources in supporting her through more than thirty years of thriving with cancer.
