A few words

A Message from Raquel

Thank you for supporting my work, my story, and the cause behind it.

Sense of Tumor was born in 2017, while I was in complete remission from T-Cell Leukemia. Then Sense of Tumor 2 came after my successful haplo-identical bone marrow transplant in 2018.

You're in the right place if you want signed hardcover copies of both books, sold together as a set. A custom dedication is also available.

With love,Raquel

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.
