CANCER SCHMANCER

In her hallmark high-pitched, nasal voice, Fran Drescher tells her own story about being diagnosed with and treated for ovarian cancer. With her usual blend of humor, honesty, and humility, Drescher offers an insightful look into the feelings associated with the devastating disease and its intrusive treatment. No topic is sacred, and listening to Fran's rants is a lot like riding around with your most obnoxious and uninhibited girlfriend. For those who love Drescher, this work will not disappoint, and for those who are not exactly fans, the book may be a surprise; the combination of her heart-wrenching story and the humor with which she shares it sends a powerful message in a very small package.
