Synopsis

In 2008 I was diagnosed with bladder cancer and I underwent two years of treatment including chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. In January of 2010 I had my bladder removed and thankfully I have been cancer free since then.During treatment I found writing to be very therapeutic and I kept notes throughout. These notes then became some of the poems that I share with you now. It was also at this time that I began to take my writing more seriously. Facing one’s own mortality has a way of doing that.Unfortunately, between the years 2015-2018, I lost several members of my family. My mum (Nan) passed away due to lung cancer in 2015. My sister (Christine) passed away due to ovarian cancer in 2016. And my dad (Edward) who suffered from dementia the last few years of his life passed away in 2018.I found writing during this period was extremely helpful in helping me to cope and express my feelings and emotions. I have included some of the poems I wrote during this time.I have also included some of the other poems I have written over the years. I hope you enjoy reading all of them.
