How Cancer Cured My Fear of Sharks

Diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2013, Kim Hecko began to write a journal on CaringBridge to keep family, friends, and colleagues abreast of what was happening with her health. At the same time, she would write reflectively about her journey, more philosophical and cutting closer to the bone. How Cancer Cured My Fear of Sharks is a culmination of these journal entries and essays, interwoven with each other to create a moving story of one woman’s twelve-year experience (so far) with cancer.
