About the Author
Born and raised in Connecticut, Pam Lacko currently lives in Simsbury with her husband, Jeff; two children, Rebecca and Mathew; and their two golden retrievers. At the age of 47, she was diagnosed with Stage IIB Ovarian Cancer but managed to maintain her daily involvement in all aspects of life. Three years later she continues to run a successful computer-consulting business and donates her spare time to the Simsbury Chamber of Commerce, the Simsbury school system, and cancer-relief efforts in the area. One of the latter is an annual "Women Only, Bad Golfing Encouraged" golf tournament benefiting the American Cancer Society. She was recently given the Simsbury Hometown Hero award. Soon after her diagnosis, Pam began to write a blog documenting her experiences with surgeries, treatments and emotional reactions. That blog has now become this book, which she hopes will help those experiencing significant medical events such as cancer and encourage them to smile a bit.
Review
I have learned from my experience that survival behavior and self-induced healing can be of great assistance to anyone coping with cancer. Pam Lacko's experience, as recorded in Laughing in the Face of Cancer, says it all. The tips at the conclusion of her book contain the wisdom survivors need to know. Studies show that cancer patients who laugh live longer. It is all scientific and related to our body chemistry. When you love and laugh in the face of cancer, your body gets a live message and does all it can to help you survive. So read on, learn from a role model, and behave as if you are a survivor and a thriver too. --Bernie Siegel, M.D.
Laughing in the Face of Cancer by Pam Lacko is an engaging memoir of her experiences with cancer. She welcomes all to share her journey, one that teaches as well as gives us pause to admire her courage and creativity. Through unexpected vignettes that resonate with poignant humor, the author shows us the comedy in what life has handed her. I laughed with her. A refreshing read. --Lorence Gutterman, M.D.
