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 were then made into a book called Art of Oesophageal Cancer and some have been displayed in three in-person art exhibitions and two virtual exhibitions on Twitter and Instagram.
An ebook version of the artbook and an ebook on FLOT are freely available to download from the links below.
This year, I am working on a revised version of the artbook and aiming to include new drawings about life beyond follow up. My plan is to have another hard copy print run and send copies to each upper GI treatment centre in the UK for use by upper GI nurses and dietitians. This will not be until the end of the summer. That is the plan anyway.
If you have any thoughts on what themes could be included in the new book or comments in general, please feel free to contact me by my email carotidbodypublishing @ gmail.com
- Art of Oesophageal Cancer - a visual diary of surgery and recovery from oesophageal cancer.
- Confessions of a FLOT patient - an account of FLOT side effects and how to prepare for this regime of chemotherapy
- Oesophagectomy Life Blog Book (coming soon) - all the blog posts about recovery from 2018-2021
