Actionable guidance across money, health, and purpose for life after cancer

In I'm Alive, Now What?: Your Money, Your Health, and Your Purpose...How to Take Back Control for a Better Life After Cancer, veteran Wall Street Journal journalist Geoffrey Rogow draws on his own survivorship experience and over two decades of award-winning reporting to deliver practical advice across eight areas that define post-treatment life for millions of Americans.

I'm Alive, Now What? combines survivor stories, expert interviews with medical professionals and financial planners, and current research to address money management, career decisions, family planning, mental health, physical health, insurance navigation, relationships, and renewed purpose. Rogow provides a 360-degree view of post-cancer life, from negotiating medical bills to rebuilding careers.

Readers will also find:

• Strategies for managing medical debt and navigating complex insurance challenges that cancer survivors commonly face after treatment ends
• Guidance on career decisions, including returning to work, changing roles, and communicating with employers about survivorship needs
• Expert-informed approaches to mental and physical health recovery, drawn from interviews with leading medical professionals in oncology care
• Actionable advice on family planning, relationships, and building stronger support networks during the transition beyond active treatment
• Frameworks for discovering renewed purpose and using the cancer experience as a catalyst for more intentional, purposeful living

Written for cancer survivors and their families, as well as medical professionals, financial advisors, and estate lawyers who support them, this book provides the practical, cross-disciplinary guidance needed to navigate the financial, emotional, and personal dimensions of life after cancer treatment.
