Her best-selling book E.A.T. An Unconventional Decade In The Life Of A Cancer Patient was written in journal format, and is based on the 18 journals Kathy kept during her battle with two rare and aggressive cancers. Prior to her cancer diagnosis, Bero's work ranged widely to include advocacy, facilitation, and consultation along with leadership development in the U.S and abroad.
