Octopus On My Face: And Other Amusing Cancer Experiences

By Lynne B. Thrower

Blindsided by a diagnosis of cancer with only six months to live, the author describes how humor and attitude, mixed with selective avoidance and denial, have provided the coping mechanisms necessary to defy the early prognosis. While sharing over two years of progress and setbacks, this "lady from Louisiana" credits the excellent treatment provided by UNC Health Care with her life, while simultaneously poking fun at their facility. Her attitude demonstrates that it's not only okay to laugh when dealing with a terminal illness, it's necessary!A portion of the author's proceeds will be donated to the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of North Carolina.
