Living with Cancer
By Andy Partington
A brutally honest, darkly funny memoir about cancer, chemo, kale - and the bucket list that gave it all meaning.
When Andy Partington was diagnosed with Stage Four prostate cancer, he did what any slightly panicked, beer-loving Aussie-Brit might do - he wrote a bucket list, cracked a stubby, and tried very hard not to completely fall apart.
Living with Cancer is the unfiltered story of what came next: from terrifying first scans to life-saving hormone shots, from collapsing on an exercise bike to learning how not to ruin steamed broccoli. With sharp humour and no-nonsense heart, Andy chronicles his slow transformation from hot mess to (mostly) functioning human - one blood test, push-up, and dodgy health food experiment at a time.
Told in short, punchy chapters full of wit and warmth, Living with Cancer is the story of a bloke who faced his worst fears one awkward, sweaty, broccoli-filled day at a time. It's about being scared, being angry, and being stubborn enough to keep showing up - even when you'd rather stay under the doona with a pie and a beer.
Whether you're living with cancer yourself, supporting someone who is, or just in the market for an unfiltered, laugh-out-loud story about what it means to fight without losing yourself - this book is for you.
