My best friend of 25+ years, Becca Ayers, shares her story of going through Colon Rectal cancer treatment and diagnosis in the middle of a little known pre-Broadway show. So trigger warning: we talk frank, graphicly, and sometimes finish each other’s sentences.

We all have confessions – thoughts that keep us up at night, that weigh on our shoulders. Confessions that sometimes when said out loud, we realize aren’t that crazy. This one is deep, and the start of the Confession Series. Follow us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter and respond to our Confession Series posts. We’ll be sharing confessions, kept anonymous of course. You can comment, DM, email at [email protected] or call us in your own voice at 646-494-4962.

It’s always a tad uncomfortable when you have to ask for help, especially when you look normal on the outside, but treatment is going to make you very not normal. But what happens when you really need the most help and it’s not there – like when you’re done with treatment and are in the deepest depression you’ve ever experienced. Or when your cancer becomes more like a chronic disease and there is no end to the help that’s needed.

It’s one thing to tell your family and loved ones that you have cancer, but then there are others. For some women, they choose a point person or persons to spread the news, for others it’s a group text or email, for some they, like myself, post on social media, and for a few they just go ahead and create their own youtube channel. There’s no right or wrong way to tell your story.

Just as there’s no right or wrong way to react to be being told you have cancer, there’s really no right or wrong way to tell your family, friends and loved ones that you have cancer.

There’s never a good moment to be told that you have cancer. And there’s no right and wrong way to react to being told you have cancer. In a moment’s notice, your life and world are turned upside down, and then you’re forced into stopping whatever you’re doing to dive into treatment.

It’s known among artists, specifically theater, to plow through the rehearsals, tech rehearsals and performances despite any health mishap. There’s something to be said of the stigma in the industry about being ‘sick.’ So what happens when you’re in the middle of a gig, or career path, and you have a cancer diagnosis?

I interviewed 11 women in the arts who went thru and are going through cancer treatment. They range from theatre educators, screenwriters, playwrights, actors, musicians, visual artists, marketing, stage managers and stagehands. And we didn’t stick to breast cancer. We heard from colon rectal, ovarian, lung, thyroid, lymphoma, melanoma, and the rare Desmoid Fibromatosis. Cancer affects so many people in so many different ways. So here’s the women of the Artist Series, and how they found out they had cancer.
