About the Speakers
Brian Monaghan, a fifty-nine-year-old lawyer at the top of his game, got the news that all of us dread. Stage IV melanoma had metastasized to his brain; he was given three to six months to live. That night Brian and his wife Gerri made a pact: We are going to love and laugh and fight this. And we are going to win. That was ten years ago.
Brian Monaghan and Gerri Monaghan are the authors of The Power of Two: Surviving Serious Illness with an Attitude and an Advocate.
Between Brian's courage and attitude, and Gerri's determination to stand up for him tirelessly researching options, reaching out to friends, family, and anyone who could help, resisting the status quo, and always thinking in terms of we they did win. Together, Brian and Gerri Monaghan have written The Power of Two a gripping tale of survival, a laughter-filed love story full of hope from the edges of medicine and a wealth of practical advice.
