A Guy’s Guide to Throat Cancer is based on the CaringBridge journal entries Ed wrote during his battle with cancer. CaringBridge is a social media platform for people with illness to easily keep all those interested in their treatments informed. His upbeat approach in these entries were to encourage his friends, family and colleagues to look at life through a guy’s eyes, not a being a victim, and with faith in the Lord that he would pull through. Ed presents the challenges of throat cancer in plain language that’ll be helpful for patients and their caregivers alike. His medical treatment spanned the Lenten season, and his journal entries and discussions contain many daily mass readings that provided him with a spiritual scaffolding of support. The biblical messages of faith, perseverance and gratitude are tonic to anyone, not just guys, in going through this life-changing disease.
