My Battles with Cancer

A Patient and Caregiver's Candid Memoir

By: Cheds

Narrated by: Cheds

When you or someone you love is diagnosed with cancer it feels like your whole world is falling apart. Not knowing what will happen next is terrifying, and that is the main reason I wrote this book, hoping that my experience could help others.

The first title of this book was, “My body is weak but my mind is strong”, starting out as a story about my personal battle with cancer, and that was the mantra I used to hype myself up before my final chemotherapy session. Unfortunately, someone close to me was also diagnosed with cancer before I could finish that story, so I went through the process of becoming a cancer caregiver. Thus the new title for this book was born, “My Battles with Cancer”, reflecting my journey as as both a cancer patient and caregiver.

All throughout the writing and editing process there was a fire burning in my mind, pushing me to keep chipping away every day, and telling me to have faith in the idea that eventually it would all come together. During my hospital visits and everywhere else I went, I took notes and churned out ideas in the back of my mind, as I continued to ponder the greater questions from my patient and caregiver journey with this book in mind.

Now, exactly two years to the day since my last cancer treatment I am publishing this book, ready to share with the world my journey, and ready to move on to some new and exciting adventures. It is my great pleasure to share with you now some of the high and low points I went through in my journey as a cancer patient and caregiver. My hope is that by sharing my stories and observations along the way, it may help other people with their learning curve.

Good luck with your battles,

Cheds
