Description

When my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer, I sold everything I owned and returned to Wee Waa, a small town in outback Australia, to care for her. As her only child, there was no one else to step into that role. The Colour of Cancer is a son's account of navigating diagnosis, treatment, and palliative care from the inside-told not by a clinician or carer, but by a child watching a parent fade. My mother, deaf and in her late fifties, was vibrant, stubborn, and full of life. I was quiet, reserved, and unprepared for what lay ahead. Set against the vast stillness of rural Australia, this book traces the final years of my mother's life and the emotional terrain I was forced to cross alongside her-grief, exhaustion, love, frustration, and moments of unexpected grace. It is not a guide, nor a hero's journey, but an honest reflection on caregiving, loss, and what remains when everything else falls away.
