Cancer is a Cunt

By S.H. Ryan

"Dear, dear, I'm very sorry for you," is one way to sympathize with someone who has cancer. Another way is to say, "I'm so angry that you have to battle this crummy disease, but I'm here to help you DESTROY that mofo! Yeah! And if I can't help, at least I can empathize entirely." While the former may be more polite, that latter may be more helpful.If cancer were a person, it would be the A-hole friend who keeps turning up at the door, tapping lightly in that weird, creepy way. You have to let them into the party, and then you spend the entire evening watching them get drunk and falling onto the well-prepared buffet table.This little book describes situations in life that, in a gallows-humor way, are in some small measure comparable to cancer, depending on the severity of the disease. Beginning with the words, "Cancer is like that time....," each paragraph describes situations ranging from getting stuck in a lift to being mistakenly trafficked into Eastern Europe and having to work in a gas station for a year to save enough money to get back home.It's not PC, it's not for children, and it's not for the faint of heart. But whether it is you or someone else, anyone who is battling or has battled this terrible yet ubiquitous disease can never be described as faint of heart.Note: There are a couple of swear words in this book (the C-word is only in the title, however), and there is a reference to dating, so in effect you could say that it's just like Fifty Shades of Grey, except for the plot, the cover, and the words. And the characters, of course, of which there are none.
