Short explanation of the story and how it developed: I wrote two First Person accounts of my experiences with tonsil cancer, 16 years after my first encounter with the disease. Black humour helped me get through the first time and its restorative power worked again. I never felt sick while writing. My goal was to entertain and inform. I believe I accomplished both. |
