One of our favorite people, Adam’s Aunt Cindy, joins us to share the transformative story of her cancer journey. Cindy Polinsky is a retired union organizer and cancer survivor. She is the author of The Double Chai Cafe, a zine about her grief journey. Cindy’s mother died when she was 8 years old. She never dealt with her grief until she was diagnosed with life threatening cancer some 50 years later. A poignant story, laced with humour, The Double Chai Cafe can be purchased for $10.00 by emailing Cindy at
[email protected]. All proceeds will benefit Epic Experience, an adventure camp for cancer patients and survivors. Cindy’s memoir, The Scrappy Knights of Cancer, an Intergalactic journey through grief and beyond, is nearing completion and expected to go to print in 2026. We’ll be sure to let you know when it’s available.
