Synopsis

Terminally Illin' is a collection of comics written during a 23 year old girl's battle with a rare bone cancer.

When fashion student Kaylin Andres was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma, her career ambitions went on hold and she reluctantly began a new journey.

In the face of this new threat she found strength in humor and imagination, and that’s how this book came to be.

With an overwhelming desire to meet her disease face-to-face and kick it’s butt, she takes a magical journey into her own microscopic body on a mission.

Along the way she is joined by her pet cat, Iceman as this chemo-induced “Alice-in-Wonderlandâ€

becomes a campy, pun-filled, action-adventure.

Follow along as they take you down the rabbit

hole into the world of cancer like you’ve never seen… You just might learn something too.

While enduring harsh chemo treatments, Kaylin teamed up with her friend, Jon, and they worked on the stories in this book. The laughter helped to ease the pain.

Kaylin and Jon want to share this laughter and imagination with others who might find it helpful or entertaining. After all, laughter is the best medicine!
