COPY ISBN
Nurse Brisbois boils down her 2006 cancer diagnosis at age 41 into one-page (and less) bites in her candid, wry, and encouraging 6¼" × 6¼" memoir. Her life with The Fucker (the name her sister first called the tumor) will strike reminiscent chords with those who have been there. As Brisbois states, "If I do the best I can everyday, there is nothing else I can ask of myself."
