In April of 2009 our world was changed when we found out our four-year-old son, Ian, had a brain tumor. My daughter Nicole and I documented our painful journey because that is how we both process pain in our lives–through writing. That process helped me understand how important it is to examine all aspects of my life–the pain and the joy.

In the years since we found the tumor, we have found that Cancer still affects our lives. Life After Cancer explores the event in our lives that is marked with a thick vertical line; an event that changed our concept of time: BC (before Cancer) and AC (after Cancer). Our journey on the AC timeline is unexpected, but beautiful nonetheless.
