Actress and New York Times best-selling author, Marilu Henner, stops by Windy City LIVE to chat about her recently released book, "Changing Normal: How I Helped My Husband Beat Cancer."
Marilu Henner delivers an intimate account of how she and her husband stood together after his daunting double cancer diagnosis and came out the other side happier, healthier, and more in love than ever in her new book.
Sher first met her future husband Michael at the University of Chicago when he was her roommate's boyfriend, ran into him years later when she was marrying her first husband, and then did not see him again for over twenty years. When they finally reconnected, they instantly bonded and fell in love. But only two months after their reunion, Michael was diagnosed with bladder cancer, and through further testing was also diagnosed with lung cancer.
Told with humor and insight in a unique "he-said, she said" style, this is a vivid and real story that looks at the cause of Michael's cancer, the doubts that plagued him as he made agonizing decisions about his treatment, and, most importantly, the love that carried him through his ordeal.
The actress and author will be at Books-A-Million in the Loop on Friday, May 13 at 12:00pm to sign copies of "Changing Normal."
