This is without a doubt the funniest, truest, most bullseye accurate book ever written about cancer. And maybe the saddest too, because Miriam died on October 17th, 2006, shortly after the book was published, a week after I started chemo, and just when I'd begun to feel like she was my very own personal best friend. It's a hilarious and brutally honest view of everything from diagnosis, surgery, chemo, support groups, wigs, and the awful things people manage to say, to the dreaded horror of a second diagnosis and chronicling her own death. Required reading if you're a human being.
