Product Description

Book Description

An idiot's guide to accepting, living with, laughing at and dying from cancer.


From the Author

At the beginning of January 2004 Cancergiggles began life as a series of random articles which were posted on the internet. With about 3 years experience of living with cancer and having come close to being a very dead person, I thought that I may be able to pass on a few thoughts to help or comfort people who found themselves in a similar hilarious situation. Over a third of a million hits and many requests later, here is the book!
"After a few weeks came the numerous tests. Just about every oscopy and scan known to man. Take note because this bit is really important! IT DOESN'T HURT! Saw loads of people frightened of what was about to happen to them because it is the unknown. My natural disposition to cross bridges just as they collapse underneath me helped lots and each time I was pleasantly surprised. Slight discomfort was the worst that happened, but please, please, leave your dignity at the door. Nurses and doctors have almost certainly seen far worse, more ridiculous, fatter, uglier more ungainly creatures than you. It's not fair to expect them to act surprised when they examine your body. It's like a guy in the body shop screaming or laughing because you've got a dent in the front wing of your Volvo. They see it all day, every day. Give them a break.The only embarrassing thing is BEING EMBARRASSED!"– Cass Brown

5.0 out of 5 stars Bringing laughter to cancer, to life, to light, 25 Jan 2006
By Boomer (LA, California) - See all my reviews
Cass Brown's book is an unusual memoir...because it evolved out of his blog...a "blog"moir. Deeply personal, extremely funny, remarkably insightful. This is a book that anyone living with, dying from, or supporting someone with cancer must read. Relevant and moving and more than anything, a wonderful reminder that laughing and enjoying life, love and family are what it is really all about. As one of Mr. Brown's fans has said in the past, "this should be mandatory reading in medical school." I couldn't agree more. This should be mandatory reading for living.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cancergiggles brings a lot of heart to living with dying, 24 Jan 2006
By Boomer (LA, California) - See all my reviews
Cass Brown captures your heart with this personal account of his daily living with cancer. Except that he has found a way to laugh around the cancer and find meaning and humour in every facet of life. A welcoming, forgiving, insightful and very, very funny "blog"-moir (his writings grew from his very popular blog) is a must-have for anyone living with cancer or involved with anyone living with cancer...or anyone living for that matter! A gorgeous celebration of life.
