Funny Breast Cancer Stories Come
Alive in Laugh ‘Til It Heals!
Best-selling Minneapolis-based author Christine K. Clifford ’s new book, Laugh ‘Til It Heals: Notes from the World’s Funniest Cancer Mailbox is a compilation of funny breast cancer stories from women who sent letters to The Cancer Club© , an online forum for people with cancer. The book also provides practical information on how to support someone who has cancer, expert advice on beneficial nutrition and resources created by cancer patients worldwide.
Christine founded The Cancer Club® in 1995 after her own battle with breast cancer. The Cancer Club offers hope and support to cancer patients, their families and friends through the healing power of humor as well as inspirational gifts, breast cancer stories, information and resources through the website, www.cancerclub.com .
“Managing cancer is serious business,” Christine said. “The treatments are toxic, the stakes are high, and the situations with which a patient must cope are often treacherous. Laughter has many therapeutic side effects. Laughter and humor can help you get past the unpleasant, manage the unbearable and cope with the unexpected.”
The book contains cartoons by Jack Lindstrom designed to elicit laugh-out-loud responses from readers.
