"The gastroenterologist said she'd found two cancers and, smiling cheerfully through a sedated haze, Will thanked her and beamed up at Faith wondering why she seemed so perturbed." Told he has advanced bowel cancer Will begins extensive chemotherapy. At the same time Faith discovers a major misappropriation of funds by a trusted colleague in the organization she directs. At first Will thinks the chemo isn't going to be too bad, but he's wrong. The side-effects are awful and not just physically but psychologically and emotionally. Faith's wrong, too, underestimating the stressful impact Will's chemo is going to have upon her at work and at home. Weary and dejected, feeling useless and lost in a chemo-fog preoccupied with survival, Will tires of telling Faith he's sorry. Forever anxious and exhausted, feeling as if she's being taken for granted and overwhelmed by work and caring for Will, Faith resents having to feel guilty. Inevitably misunderstandings develop and unresolved antagonisms once masked by youth, career and family resurface to push the relationship to the brink. When Will's treatment and Faith's employment end with a disturbing twist, they face an uncertain future. Was their faith in chemotherapy warranted? Will they survive The Chemo Affair?

Autorenporträt
BIO GARY LEWIS Author Gary Lewis is a distinguished historian of Co-operatives in Australian History and has published extensively in the field on agricultural, credit, consumer, worker and community settlement co-operatives and co-operatives' associations. His first novel, Wounded: a Great War novel, evoking his father's military experience in World War One, was published by BookBaby in 2013. The Chemo Affair is Gary's first contribution to the genre of realistic fiction. 'Realistic fiction is not unlike history, ' he writes, 'in that it's a plausible imagining of what may or may not be entirely true but different insofar as it involves researching everyday events affecting ordinary people facing real life problems for the valuable insights into a lived experience which an author wishes to share with readers. In The Chemo Affair, that lived experience is cancer, specifically, the impact upon a relationship.' Dr Lewis lives in the Australian seaside township of Byron Bay.
