Blogs for the Brain:

a collection of blogs from Alyson Woloshyn’s first year with cancer

When diagnosed with a Glioblastoma, a Grade IV incurable form of brain cancer, Alyson knew she needed to share her journey. She chose to share it as a blog. What started initially as a website to help her update concerned loved ones on her progress in cancer treatment, quickly turned into a journey of self-discovery, as her blogs explored the things she valued most.

While undergoing 15 months of treatment, including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, Alyson used her cancer experience to write about themes like gratitude, relationships, confidence, and acceptance.

In 2010, Blogs for the Brain was published as a book to raise funds for the Alberta Cancer Foundation. Alyson’s book has been republished online in 2022 on the 10th anniversary of her passing to give more people a chance to read and share her inspiring story.
