Lynn's Anatomy

By Andre Ferreira

Lynn Ferreira thought little of the incessant headaches she started experiencing in late 2007. Doctors finally found the cause, two malignant brain tumours. Diagnosed with metastatic melanoma she and her family embarked on a rollercoaster ride lasting over a year. Lynn began to diarise her experience, first to keep friends and family informed, but later as an online blog to an ever increasing audience. Written in a candid manner, Lynn describes the events, emotions and experiences that surround her thirteen month illness. Sometimes sad, mostly upbeat, but always witty, Lynn takes her followers along on the tumultuous journey with her family. Seeking to inspire and encourage others experiencing tough times, this book is the collection of diary entries written by Lynn and Andre over the period of Lynn's illness.

All proceeds from this book will be donated to the Saint Lukes Hospice who provide critical and compassionate care to terminal patients.

After a good number of years working in the IT industry, I discovered I got more of a kick out of the technical writing I did than any of the other components of my day job. This lead to me exploring writing as a hobby, which lead me here. I'm still a techno geek at heart and love playing with all things technology, but my writing is what gives me the most pleasure. I am also rather passionate about motor cars and race a custom built V8 powered brute at the local race track here in Cape Town. Maybe I'll write a book about that one day.
