Paperback. 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. This item is printed on demand.
