Publisher's Synopsis
This colorful booklet combines the healing journey of Annette Bennington McElhiney with stage IIICOvarian cancer with poems of Emily Dickenson with 11 original paintings she has included. The title of the booklet, "Dancing Joyfully, With or Without NED" should have particular meaning to cancer survivors. The acronym NED (no evidence of disease) is a goal every survivor strives for. However enjoying life either without disease is the basic message of this booklet.the booklet is partly autobiographical, self-help, and (because she was a nurse) educational. It is a quick read but also invites readers to reread the narrative and ponder anew the poetry and paintings.All royalties will be given to ovarian cancer research as will sales from the paintings available by googling Annette McElhiney at Fine Arts of America.
