Publisher's Synopsis
On the 10th March 2017 with a single sentence my life changed, that sentence was "you have Cancer". To say this is a game changer is an understatement. Now don't get me wrong, no Cancer is glamourous, however having to tell people you have ass cancer is slightly humiliating. Now it stands to reason that if I was to ever get a Cancer, Colon Cancer was always likely to be the one for me. Years of people telling me that I was full of shit and a pain in the ass eventually was to change from an opinion of my character to a physical reality.Nothing could have prepared me for what was to come. The following year proved to be incredibly challenging for my family and I. I have throughout this book referred to this as a journey, aside from the obvious journey that is Cancer, it is a journey of self-discovery, one that has not been at all easy.While I talk a lot, I am generally not comfortable talking about how I feel, but I realised early on that I needed an outlet, somewhere to let my thoughts come out, so as with so many before me I decided to start a blog. This book is based on that blog. I started writing the blog with the thought that it may help anybody who has been diagnosed with Cancer and is currently going through the treatment, in the middle of treatment however I realised that it was likely to put the fear of God in anybody facing this journey. I want to emphasise that everybody's experience is not the same, each person reacts differently to chemotherapy, my experience with it was unpleasant however that was my experience and that does not mean it would be the same for somebody else. This book may help family and loved one's who are supporting somebody going through treatment for Cancer, my hope is it can provide some clarity on how you feel when you are going through this. It is an extremely difficult time for those supporting a Cancer patient, some insight into what they are going through may be helpful.
