If you have what I think you have, you may only have six months to live, he said with a serious look on his face. I was in shock. What was he saying? I felt fine and could not imagine for a moment I could die within six months. The doctor said he was quite certain I had iris melanoma, an extremely rare, highly lethal form of eye cancer that grows around the iris. Once it has grown all the way around the iris, it quickly spreads to the liver and throughout the body. My best ...chance for survival if the cancer had not yet spread was to remove my eye. This book follows my life during a six-year period and contains some of my journal entries and post-surgery pictures. I recount my experience with eye cancer, which includes testing and diagnosis, eye removal surgery, the recovery period, my prosthetic eye fitting, adjusting to single-eye vision, the complications, a second corrective surgery, and a second recovery period. Along the way, I reflect on my life prior to my diagnosis, including my teenage pregnancy, my struggle with depression and anxiety, and my mother’s battle with cancer that began two decades before mine. My close relationship with my fiancé, Gary, is evident throughout my story. I describe how patient and accommodating he was while helping me navigate through a life-altering, life-threatening illness. When I was facing the possibility of a second dangerous cancer scare, we decided to get married and Gary became my son’s legal father. Multiple purchase options (Soft & Hardcover, Kindle, Apple Books, Noodle, Smashwords, Indigo, Kobo etc.) available at: https://www.nightingalecreations.ca/the-view-from-my-window/

Hi Friends, I just wanted to share with you one of my favorite necklaces. It's the 15" Casual Shine Necklace. It pairs well with just about anything and is easy to put on because of the magnetic clasp. For more information please click the link below.

Hi friends, I hope you’re having a good night. If anyone would like to hear my random thoughts in my newsletter (mostly business, book updates & faqs), you can sign up by clicking the following link and scrolling down to the bottom of the page.

Some of my favourite eyepatches.

One day I came to the realization that if I waited for my health issues to resolve before I followed my dreams, my dreams would never come true. I can’t have my eye back or make my arthritis go away, but I can choose how I spend my time and contribute to the world in my own unique way.
