INCURABLE! This was the knockout punch she had dreaded hearing, yet knew in her heart was inevitable. Her psychiatrist had apathetically put a label on her that was tantamount to a life sentence without parole. Equally devastated by her doctor's declaration and furious by his cavalier attitude, she vowed on the spot that she would prove him wrong. Her diagnosis - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

Gerry's storybook life as a flight attendant who traveled the world, an accomplished real estate entrepreneur, and a happily married mother of two was interrupted overnight by OCD. She survived the kind of mental torture normally only seen in movies like The Aviator, she in three psychiatric hospitals, had countless hours of therapy, tried every medication available, and eventually lost connection to her relatives and friends, her career, her husband and nearly her children. Radano's relentless determination pulled her thru. Now she is using that same fierce resolve to rebuild her life.
