I was diagnosed with Breast <br />Cancer in 1994 and also experienced 'chemo fog'. I was not a writer at the time, (with the exception of a journal I kept during that time), however, I would get so frustrated, because I would forget what I was saying in the middle of my sentence! I am almost 19 years cancer free now, and have recently decided to delve into a bit of writing, even if I am never published, and in fact one of the things I would like to write, is to take my BC journal and turn it into "My BC story". I would like to also address in 'my story' helps and encouragement for those who are caregivers and friends for those going through cancer.<br /><br />After reading this interview, look forward even more, to reading your book.<br />Vicki<br />vmarney(at)hotmail(dot)comJon and Vicki Marneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03490578546719296693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-76289983130132365512013-08-07T17:46:05.186-04:002013-08-07T17:46:05.186-04:00Lori has a lot of books she has written over the y...Lori has a lot of books she has written over the years while waiting for her chance to break into print.

Right in that very moment, it's there, even if that feels like the very thinnest thread (though for me, at that time, it was a flood, and I give Him all the glory for that).

Not many interviewers (thus far) have asked about my cancer experience or how that related to writing so it's good to have the chance to talk about that. I can recall for years not understanding what was wrong with me. Then I finally met a writer who had been through that chemo fog as well. In fact, Burning Sky is dedicated in her memory.
