In 2003, Brian Fies's mother was diagnosed with cancer. What followed was a five-year journey through the medical system, filled with hope, heartbreak, and ultimately, loss. Mom's Cancer is Fies's deeply moving and honest graphic memoir of that experience.

Through a series of vignettes, Fies captures the complex emotions of a son watching his mother slowly slip away. There is the anger and frustration of dealing with the medical system, the fear and uncertainty of not knowing what the future holds, and the profound sadness of saying goodbye. But there is also love, laughter, and resilience. Fies's mother was a strong and determined woman, and her spirit shines through even in the darkest of times.

Mom's Cancer is a powerful and unforgettable story about the bonds of family, the fragility of life, and the power of love. It is a must-read for anyone who has ever lost a loved one, or who is facing the challenges of cancer.
