Welcome to PatchRose.com – an introduction to award-winning writer and cancer survivor Patch Rose.

"I'm a nobody. I'm not a famous personality or a world-class athlete. I have no money, no influence and no hair.  In short, I'm just like you.

Yet I am the new face of Cancer. I've looked the beast in the eye, and I'm here to tell you what I saw. Walk with me through the strange and scary desert called survival.
"

Thanks to everyone who made the Benefit Auction for Patch and Cookie a great success. Friends of Patch and Cookie have requested that the deadline to help with their medical expenses be extended. Donations can still be made via Paypal here:
