Synopsis

Are you or a loved one about to go through chemo? Do you need real, honest, raw information from someone who has been there?

Chemotherapy sucks, but it can also save your life. This book gives you a blunt and NOT politically correct look at the process and the side effects.

Featuring full color and sometimes inappropriate adult humor, it is a refreshing break from the seriousness of cancer.

Her first book is "So, You're Getting Chemo" a funny guide for adult cancer patients in chemotherapy.

She is a former journalist, having worked as a writer and producer in several television markets, even winning an Emmy award along the way.
