Whispers through the fog
A Journey through a Brain Tumour: Acoustic Neuroma
Purpose
I wrote Whispers Through the Fog as a way to process my experience — to give shape to silence and find clarity through writing. It’s also a thank you to those who stood beside me with patience and love during my recovery. Above all, this book is a gesture of companionship — for anyone facing acoustic neuroma or any quiet struggle of life. You’re not alone in the fog.
Motivation
My motivation was simple and urgent: to turn something painful into something useful. To tell the truth, even when it trembled. And to offer that truth to anyone who might need it.
Inside the Pages

“In the culture I come from, we do not name depression. We call it tiredness. Weakness. A lack of faith. We speak of being strong for our families, for our children, for God. But no one teaches you how to be strong when the enemy is inside your own skull”
“A brilliantly executed account — humbling, inspiring, and honest. I couldn’t put it down. The openness and humour made it deeply human, and the strength drawn from family and community shines through every page.”
— Andrea Wadeson, Acoustic Neuroma Specialist Nurse
