This moving and inspirational collection of personal essays and poems explores what life is like after the diagnosis of cancer. The anthology is written by those who have been affected by cancer firsthand, whether directly or through someone they love.
Crafted by those who participated in the Write Treatment Workshops at Mount Sinai West and Mount Sinai Beth Israel Hospitals in New York City, the anthology not only shows the diversity of the city but also the diversity of experiences of those touched by a life-threatening diagnosis.
In addition to illuminating what life is like for those living with cancer and for their loved ones, The Write Treatment Anthology is also a beautiful compilation of writing all on its own. It stands not only as a testament to the writers' experiences but also as a demonstration of the enduring and healing power of writing.
