Cancer Schmancer... A Book Review

I know that this book came out many years ago but I felt myself drawn to Cancer Schmancer by Fran Drescher as soon as I saw it. Most of us are some how effected by cancer. Whether it has taken a loved on from us or we may even be fighting the disease ourselves. I've always been a fan of Fran Dresher. I guess you either love her or hate her. The voice, the loud personality... I love it all. And after reading her book I am even more smitten. Cancer Schmancer is about her fight with uterine cancer. The fact that she lived to tell about it is a small miracle. She went misdiagnosed for so many years and is, what I would call, lucky that she finally did get the diagnosis at all. She tells of her symptoms and many different doctors (11 to be exact) and how she suffered for so long. I can't imagine going though what she did and being able to relive it by writing this book and telling her story as often as she can to help other women who have or may have gynocolocal cancer. You get to go step by step with her into her struggles with her illness and also take a peak into her personal life as well. She pretty much tells all and holds nothing or little back, all while keeping her story funny and light hearted. I felt like I was with her every step of her journey. I learned so much and recommend this book to any women (or man for that matter). Rest in peace Chester.
