The Funny Thing About Bladder Cancer


Book Description

A diagnosis of cancer will certainly get your attention. Your goals and expectations are going to change. The things that happen to you are so outrageously outside the norm, they get to be funny. In my case, I found that embracing the humor gave me a little separation between the person I've always been and the person this disease was turning me into. It also helped me find my way back. The Funny Thing About Bladder Cancer is my look back at the journey from health into sickness and finally back to health. I explore the doubt and fear of the early revelation, but also how acknowledging the ridiculous aspect of the situation help keep the fear in check.




Tales from Cancerland


Book Description

"Ileana von Hirsch writes with a light touch and a warm heart. Her bravery and zest for life shine from every page of this book. Her woes and joys will make you cry, laugh - and think." Edward Lucas Tales from Cancerland follows on from A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Chemo and continues the author's adventures as she gets used to life with cancer. In turn absurd, hilarious, irreverent, but always candid, as she writes, "If I have made Cancerland sound as if it is sometimes fun, that is because it can be, and more often than one might think." Implausible as this sounds, if you or someone you care about are stuck in Cancerland, this cheery collection of tales, which meanders in a leisurely way around plot flaws in King Lear, escaping from hospitals, scoring your favourite drugs, what to do if told to pee into a sock, getting your children to empty the dishwasher, curing insomnia and dealing with well-meant but baffling gifts, is a high-spirited, informative and helpful guide to the country, its inhabitants and its customs.
