Summary: Sees the humor in Marriage as well
Review: I read Patty Gelman's book to better understand my mother- in -law's struggle with chemo, I ended up making a friend. You'll finish this book feeling like you just hung up the phone with a treasured girlfriend from college, or from your first job in the City. You know, the one who could always make you laugh.Patty Gelman leaves you feeling hopeful; about marriage, about having kids, about middle age, without sugar coating a thing.
She's funny, unflinching and funny, and I can't wait till I hear from Patty again.

Summary: A Fantastic Read
Review: Patty Gelman's book is one of those gems that is informative, funny, sensitive,and above all, sympathetic to the concerns of cancer patients. I highly recommend it. As a physician in the Boston area, this is a book I'd recommend for patients about to undergo the often stressful and worrisome journey toward curing his/her cancer. Humor After the Tumor would certainly get them smiling and help ease their tension.

Summary: Humor After the Tumor
Review: This is a moving, funny and very informative book of one woman's treatment for breast cancer and outlook on life. It grew out of the email updates Patty Gelman sent her friends and family from the first diagnosis to the last treatment and beyond. Her struggle and fears about the disease, her surgery, the chemo and radiation are related with humor and frankness. Much practical information is included, too. What to do when your dog has run off with your wig and you are going out to dinner. How friends can help loved ones cope with the discomfort and disruption in life brought on by the treatment.
Patty details the talks she has with her doctor and other caretakers as she decides what treatment options to choose. Patty relates her reactions to her medicines and things that made her feel better. The afterward by Dr. Edge of Roswell Park is a practical look at the case. Anyone who has a loved one facing breast cancer should get a copy of this book to read and share together.
