DAVE BALCH
Author of Author of Cancer For Two and Founder of The Patient Partner Project
Dave Balch knows about crisis. He was caregiver for his wife during four bouts with breast cancer, including six surgeries, two rounds of chemotherapy, and three rounds of radiation. Together they went to over 250 appointments, plus Dave did the scheduling, drove most of the 26,000 plus miles related to her care, and much more, all while maintaining his home business and taking care of their ranch, two horses, two dogs, two cats, and a really mean parrot that his wife has had since 1957.

Your Amazing Ability to be Brave and Strong
When Dave Balch’s wife was diagnosed with breast cancer he thought,“This is impossible; how are we going to get through this?”

How did they get from “I can’t do this” to “I did this?”
In this lively and entertaining 1-hour presentation Dave reveals some of the secrets that helped them
