T(H)UMOR, Dear Cancer Diary…
In May 2020, what I thought was a bad case of tendonitis turned out to be Pleomorphic Bone Sarcoma, so for a few months I went though the whole ordeal: Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy and finally Surgery.
No matter how hard they tell you chemo is, it’s worse, it sucks! (but thanks, chemo, for saving my life).
This is a Journal I started doing right after my first session of Chemo, Laugh, cry… or both…it’s up to you.
BOLD Buddies Stories is a 30-page comic that depict the cancer journeys of three survivors from the Bronx Oncology Living Daily (BOLD) program: Ann, Rita, and Sam as well as the founding director of the program, Alyson Moadel-Robblee, PhD.
