He beat cancer once. But surviving was only the beginning.
Justin Johnson was diagnosed with cancer as a child. Against the odds, he survived. But decades later, the scars still ache-some on the body, most on the soul. Now in forced retirement, grappling with vision loss, neurological symptoms, and the unraveling of his identity, Justin is back in therapy... reluctantly.
Told through poignant sessions with a quietly wise therapist and powerful poetic reflections, The Doctor Stuck in the Aftermath is a raw, intimate, and sometimes darkly humorous exploration of what it means to live after survival. As Justin unpacks a lifetime of resilience, rage, and regret, he must decide whether the story he's been telling himself is one worth passing on-or if it's time to rewrite the ending.
For fans of emotionally rich, literary fiction drawn from real life, The Doctor Stuck in the Aftermath is based on a true story and delivers a deeply moving journey through chronic illness, manhood, memory, and meaning.
A literary medical drama with heartBlends fiction and truth in a deeply authentic voice
Includes original poems that illuminate and elevate the narrative
If you've ever wondered what comes after survival-this is the story.
