In this episode, we hear from Edward Miskie. He is a sole survivor of rare cancer. This year is his 10 year cancer survivorship anniversary, an anniversary he didn’t think he was going to get! So, he is celebrating with his book "Cancer, Musical Theatre, and Other Chronic Illnesses" as featured on INSIDER and ABC (available at Barnes & Noble, Walmart, Booktopia, Indigo, Apple Books, and Amazon).
We discuss -
You know what's not talked about in the cancer conversation? What happens to your life during and after treatment. Relationships, career, wants, needs... what happens to YOU. You can't go back, so you have to forge forward; the ultimate transformation. Through his own personal story of insanity and indecencies, he talks about all things survival, and getting back on the horse - even if its a different horse.
A little about the book -
In this fantasy, non-fiction, funny-as-cancer-can-be musical theatre fever dream fueled by chemo, alcohol & heartbreak you will experience the honest, raw & oftentimes hilarious view of the musical star Edward himself, as he navigates his way through the realities of being a full-time cancer patient all while scores of nurses & doctors carelessly belt & fan-kick in his face.
Among other things, he is an actor, a singer, songwriter, writer, and producer.
