Meet the Author
The book that empowers and inspires!
One in four people with severe acute pancreatitis don't survive.
Ray Snow shouldn’t be here to tell this story. But he is.
In Dignity on My Terms, Ray takes us inside the brutal reality of living through severe acute pancreatitis and the lifelong impact of its chronic form. With honesty, grit, and flashes of humour, he shares the procedures, the pain, the setbacks, and the small victories that defined his fight for survival.
Don't Sit Up is not a medical textbook; it’s a human survival story — raw and unfiltered. From the indignities of drains and stents to the euphoria of walking free on a beach in Corfu, Ray reveals what it really means to endure through pancreatitis, to adapt, and to find joy again.
If you or someone you love is facing pancreatitis or any chronic illness, this book offers more than information. It offers hope. It offers laughter in the dark. It reassures that while the journey through severe pancreatitis is harsh, it is possible to fight, to endure, and to live again.
With love, strength, and determination..
Ray Snow
