Well, it’s taken me three months to be able to post this last chapter of my sketchnote journal. It’s taken me that long to be able to revisit it… and to give me some closure. I’m also thinking that other folks who have read the earlier installments might like some closure as well.
My Aunt V. had stage four liver bile duct cancer. It was an aggressive cancer, and also inoperable. With chemotherapy, her doctors gave her six months or so to live. Without chemo, they didn’t expect her to last the year.
When I first found out, I looked online for books and resources for family members of a person facing this type of cancer. (Note to self: don’t look that stuff up on the internet any more… it’s depressing, and doesn’t really prepare you for what you experience day-to-day.)
So I’m sharing my own personal journal sketchnotes here with you, week by week, in the hope that someone may find it helpful… that someone may realize that they aren’t crazy or the only one feeling like this as they get to face their own family cancer from the sidelines.
This is the third, and last, installment.
Thank you for reading… and please share if you feel that someone you know could benefit.
