Peter J. Flierl, MSW is the author of Prayer, Laughter & Broccoli: Being There When Your Wife Has Breast Cancer published by Witty Fools Productions in Los Angeles. Peter’s wife, Shirley, in 1982 found herself at the leading edge of the trend toward younger women being diagnosed and treated for breast cancer. Together, they faced her Stage 3, aggressive cancer with extensive lymph node involvement. She beat the odds and is thriving today, over 21 years later.
Prayer, Laughter & Broccoli is a survival guide for other husbands of women with breast cancer, as well as their families and the women themselves. Peter offers insights and wisdom on topics ranging from sexuality and being there to cravings, chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
Peter is a graduate of Hobart College with a B.A. in English and received his M.S.W. in Clinical Social Work from Louisiana State University. He has over 30 years experience in community health promotion and wellness services, including breast self exam programs for teens and women, free mammography services and breast health education. He is founder and President of HealthGain, a business devoted to building healthy people and healthy organizations, and co-founded with Shirley, FBT Worldwide, a private franchising company.
