War in My Flesh — Book I: The Diagnosis

War in My Flesh — Book I: The Diagnosis

At ten years old, I heard a word no child should have to understand: cancer.

What followed was not just a medical journey, but the beginning of a war inside her own body.

War in My Flesh is a poetic memoir told through the eyes of a child trying to understand illness, fear, silence, and survival.

These poems capture the moment life changes, when hospital rooms replace classrooms and childhood innocence collides with the reality of fighting to live.

This is where the war began.
