Eight Billion Steps: My Impossible Quest for Cancer Comedy

By Jeffrey Penn May

"Many believe that only those whose lives have been touched by cancer would enjoy reading books about cancer. Eight Billion Steps, however, is for everyone who appreciates the musings of a gifted writer as he attacks the illness with his irreverent sense of humor."

Eight Billion Steps: My Impossible Quest For Cancer Comedy is about (as may seem obvious) finding humor in cancer. After Jeff was diagnosed with an extremely large and rare salivary gland tumor on the back of his tongue, throat and jaw, he and his wife began their fun-filled search for treatment. Eight Billion Steps is Jeff's life-affirming odyssey, told with honesty and humor, interspersed with moments of terror, and includes practical information that may help you or a loved one. The 2023 edition includes a twenty page update. Did Jeff achieve a "full recovery"? What has happened in the ten years after beginning his quest for cancer comedy?

"A must read An honest account of dealing with life's worst with the power of perseverance, a great attitude, humor and love and support of friends and family. A great reminder of what is really important "
