Going My Way Tanja Tuma

Vera and Suzy, best friends in their fifties, each face a close family member diagnosed with cancer. Vera's husband Adam, a successful company owner, wants full control over the time he has left, while Suzy's mother Victoria, a post-WWII child, wants to live at all cost. Their individual choices deeply affect their loved ones. Who owns one's life? Is one free to choose the lesser evil? When time is running out, can assisted suicide bring salvation? Going My Way is an honest, poetic novel about living and dying."The protagonists of the novel face diagnosis of cancer. Their illness sets the path for two families. The reader is inspired to contemplate life, death, human dignity, and many dilemmas as to intimate decisions one must make. Nevertheless, the novel instills optimism." - Radka Tomsic Demsar, Oncologist
