Send us Fan MailNewly published author of Cancer, Musical Theatre, & Other Chronic Illnesses, Edward Miskie is celebrating his 10 year cancer free anniversary of a rare, aggressive Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. You know what's not talked about in the cancer conversation? What happens to your life during and after treatment. Relationships, career, wants, needs... what happens to YOU. You can't go back, so you gotta forge forward; the ultimate transformation. Through his own personal story of insanity and indecencies, Edward talks about all things survival, and getting back on the horse - even if its a different horse. Among other things, Edward is an actor, a singer, songwriter, writer, and producer.From diagnosis to cancer free status, the things that go down in your life, the things that shift and change and redirect is insurmountable. He was broken up with, had one of his best friends stop talking to him, missed out on huge career opportunities, all while losing his hair, his body, his sense of identity, and having to plan a funeral - his. Once Edward was given the 'get out of cancer free' card, everyday things were a total dirge. Edward couldn't comprehend why, after having been given this new chance, this new lease on life he was having a hard time doing the daily basics. It wasn't until a chance encounter with a newly dubbed cancer free human that the conversation of 'what is happening to him' cracked wide open. There is no going back; only forward.Support the show
