About this product

Product Information

"This is a book that will help cancer patients. It will inspire, motivate, engender thought and yes, make you laugh. I will highly recommend it to all my patients." Dr. Brian DiCarlo, Oncologist. What does a story about a woman who had just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer have to do with fishnet stockings, a flood, some Russians, the Tenth Commandment, superheroes and Galileo? In a brief two-year period of mishap and mayhem-the effects of chemo, car crashes, asbestos, a hip replacement, conflicting emotions, guilt and envy-the author began a series of email updates to family and friends to keep them abreast of her treatments and to allay their fears that, as is often the case with pancreatic cancer, she had just been handed a death sentence. Those updates, delivered with humor and a delightful sassiness, expanded to include other catastrophic life events and became the driving force behind her book. In the author's words, "humor was important because, without the ability to laugh, the urge to surrender would be too strong." This book will inspire people of all ages from all walks of life but will be especially meaningful for those facing difficult life challenges, particularly those with a serious or life-threatening disease, such as cancer.

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages. I’ll definitely make another purchase soon! Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!

  • Read this if you are battling cancer!

    We recently met Maryanne in a chance encounter. She is an amazing statistic having now survived pancreatic cancer for 7 years. The book is written with information and humor which should help anyone navigating the overwhelming diagnosis of cancer and treatment by chemotherapy.
