"Cancer, Musical Theatre, and Other Chronic Illnesses" - Edward Miskie

Welcome back to the Coaching Call podcast Season 5 Episode 3, my guest is Edward Miskie. Edward is a sole survivor of a rare cancer. in his words: This year is my 10 year cancer survivorship anniversary, an anniversary I didn’t think I was going to get! So, I am celebrating with my book "Cancer, Musical Theatre, and Other Chronic Illnesses" (available at Barnes & Noble, Booktopia, Indigo, Apple Books, and Amazon)

A little about what I like to discuss -
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 my own personal story of insanity and indecencies, I talk about all things survival, and getting back on the horse - even if its a different horse.

A little about the book -

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.

Among other things, I am an actor, a singer, songwriter, writer, and producer.
