This week we are joined by a very special guest, Edward Miskie, newly published author of Cancer, Musical Theatre, & Other Chronic Illnesses. Edward is celebrating his 10 year cancer free anniversary of a rare, aggressive Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
Edward talks to us about his journey with cancer, musical theater, and other random topics. We are also joined by Hela, Scythe, and another guest and CHAOS ensues (editing nightmare, but a fun time all the same).
Make sure to nab your copy of Musical Theatre, and Other Chronic Illnesses available at Barnes & Noble, Walmart, AppleBooks, and anywhere you buy books. SPOILER ALERT - the book is great and filled with dark and light humor all around.

Disclaimer: You do not need to know or like musical theatre to cry-laugh your way through the indecencies of this book!
Currently, this manuscript is being adapted into a musical TV series ala Crazy Ex-Girlfriend or Zoey's Extrordinary Playlist.

Book Synopsis:
In this fantasy, non-fiction, funny-as-cancer-can-be musical theatre fever dream fueled by chemo, alcohol, sex, & heartbreak you will experience the honest, raw & oftentimes hilarious view of Edward, as he navigates his way through the painful realities of being a full-time cancer patient - indecencies, heartbreaks, wins, shenanigans & more. With no choice but to watch as his relationships, career & life disintegrate before his eyes on the wings of a themed musical montage, Edward faces hard truths, dehumanizing situations, & death, all while scores of nurses & doctors carelessly belt & fan-kick in his face.
