FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, (May 8, 2009)

NEW YORK,NY –Author L.J. Holloway to appear on Tough Talk too with Dr. Dale Anthony on WTHE 1520 on the AM Dial today at 10:30 or listen on the WEB at www.WTHE1520AM.com
What to Do When Life Hands You a Devastating Diagnosis (Do’s, Don’ts & Some Uncanny Observations) gives readers’ real-life advice on what to do and what not to do when a life changing medical diagnoses is suddenly thrust upon you or a loved one.

A self-described Health CARE Advocate, L.J. Holloway says she wrote “What to Do When Life Hands You a Devastating Diagnosis (Do’s, Don’ts & Some Uncanny Observations) because she “thought it was important for families and physicians alike to know that the psychological effects of a Diagnosis are more damning than the daunting of the physical. Moreover, Holloway wanted patients to know that they were empowered.”
LJ’s Tips
· DO independent research and ask pointed questions about your Diagnosis
· Don’t be a spectator, partner with your Physician, YOU know your body best
· DO solicit someone to serve as a Health Care Advocate (it’s hard to focus in a fight)
· Don’t discount your HEALTH invest in a Health Savings Account and/or a PPO
· Uncanny Observation: Life happens, so continue to LIVE despite the diagnosis!

U.S. Congresswoman Carrie P. Meek (RET.) and former Board member of the Lupus Foundation of America remarked – “LJ Holloway plows through trauma and Health Care drama with sincere messages of advice, wisdom and humor. It’s a MUST read for everyone.”

LJ Holloway is participating in Jacksonville ‘s Art Walk in front of the Booktique inside the Jacksonville Public Library tomorrow from 5pm to 9pm.
