The journey
The Story Behind Sense of Tumor©
I was 21 when I was diagnosed with T-Cell Leukemia. What followed was a year of chemotherapy and long hospital stays.
During my first rounds of treatment, I started a blog to tell the story as I lived it, through absurdity and self-deprecating jokes. Overnight, the blog reached around 36,000 readers, and people were asking for a book! That's how Sense of Tumor came to life.
After a relapse, more treatments, and a bone marrow transplant, I published Sense of Tumor 2. In a rather royal plot twist, Queen Silvia of Sweden received the first copy.
I moved from Beirut to Toronto in 2020, where I serve on the board of Association Cancer Canada-Liban, and I am now almost 8 years cancer-free.
