THE INTRUSION OF CANCER IN AN ALREADY HECTIC, UNCERTAIN LIFE

About the Book

Sonny was self employed hard working man who was diagnosed with end stage Multiple Myeloma (cancer of the bone plasma) in 2013. We were always that hard-working average couple who heard about others who had cancer. We never expected to hear those words directed at us. Within the first year of being diagnosed he had many complications and set backs of what was supposed to be routine treatments to get back to a somewhat normal life. It is an account of our reality, my husbands cancer and how we delt with everyday life and obstacles of unfairness in cancer. Sometimes in anger, hate, humor, and love. Everyday dealing with fear of the unknown and always questioning our inability to understand why us. This is not written to obtain everyone pity for us, but to let others know thought it’s not easy there is always hope and to never give up. No matter the outcome or the ride along the way, you may question God but clearly, He is always in control.

About the Author

I am not an author by profession and have no credentials except for a high school diploma and some college credits. My real education came from real life experiences. This is my first book. It is at times harsh dose of our reality in dealing with cancer. I was raised in Bath, New York. My husband and myself both attended and graduated the same small-town school in Bath, New York. We were high school sweet hearts, married, had a family and became self-employed in auto and truck repair business for 34 years until 2013 when he was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. Not everyone dealing with MM has the same experience but I hope in sharing our journey we can somehow help others.
