Surviving cancer was the easy part. Nobody warned her about surviving everything that came after.
Ten years after the multiple award-winning memoir Thank God I Got Cancer... I'm Not a Hypochondriac Anymore!, Angelina Assanti is back with the part of the story nobody prepares you for: what happens after the treatment ends, everyone celebrates, and you're somehow expected to return to normal.
Except normal has packed a bag and left town.
In this funny, candid, and unexpectedly moving memoir, Assanti looks back at a decade of life after cancer and discovers that surviving the disease was only the beginning. There are lingering fears, absurd situations, unexpected losses, medical adventures she'd rather not repeat, and the strange realization that getting what you desperately wished for doesn't necessarily mean life becomes easier.
Fortunately, she has never been particularly good at taking life's disasters seriously.
With the irreverent humor that made her first memoir an award-winner, Assanti finds comedy in places most people wouldn't think to look for it and meaning in experiences she never would have chosen. The result is a story about cancer that isn't really about cancer. It's about what happens when life refuses to follow the plan, how fear changes with time, and why sometimes the worst thing that ever happened to you can send your life in a direction you never expected.
You do not need to have read the original book to enjoy this one. This memoir stands completely on its own.
Funny without pretending everything is funny, hopeful without becoming a motivational lecture, and honest about the messy business of moving forward, Thank God I Got Cancer... I'm Not a Hypochondriac Anymore! Ten Years Later, is for cancer survivors, the people who love them, and anyone who has ever made it through something terrible only to discover that life had several more surprises waiting in the parking lot.
Because sometimes the thing you fear most doesn't destroy your life.
Sometimes it leads you down a path you never expected to take.
