Oesophagectomy Life
Welcome to Oesophagectomy Life
It's been 6 years since I was diagnosed with and treated for cancer of the oesophagus with chemotherapy and surgery. To keep my mind occupied during the long chemo sessions and recovery, I started to draw. These drawings then morphed into a series called Art of Oesophageal Cancer, with some images being published in book form and others displayed as art exhibitions in-person and and virtually on X and Instagram.
A revised version of the artbook was launched at AUGIS 2024 on 11 September 2024. Hardcopies of the book were given out to delegates and more will be mailed directly to nurses and dietitians in UK Surgical Centres. This has been made possible by Art Council England funding. A free ebook of the new version can be downloaded from the link below.
If you want to know more about the project, please feel free to contact me via carotidbodypublishing @ gmail.com Equally I will announce progress on Instagram, Threads or X as @annorthernlass
