Edward Miskie

Edward Miskie is the author of Cancer, Musical Theatre, & Other Chronic Illnesses. He is a musical theatre actor and singer based out of Manhattan, New York, as well as a Cancer Survivor. Having always known he wanted to give back to those who supported him, not only throughout the course of his lifetime, but his course of treatment at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, the idea and concept for this book didn't take flight until four years after he was declared 'cancer free.' A chance encounter with a fellow survivor changed everything, and Edward soon thereafter took to his laptop and began forming the as-funny-as-cancer-can-be memoir. Originally, Edward identified this piece as a self-help book for cancer patients, survivors, and those closely associated with the two. Since, it has morphed into what he refers to as 'the ugly truth' behind cancer. Through the indecencies, heartbreaks, triumphs, and shenanigans, he hopes the reader can find some form of peace in knowing that it's okay to feel the way they do, and they are not alone.
