Pełny opis I've Got Cancer, What's Your Excuse?, A Journey Through Black Dog Days, the Big C and Laughter by Anne Gildea, 9781444743432.
Call it a mid-life crisis, but you reach a point where nothingmakes sense anymore. Not the goals you set yourself, the years focussed
on trying to achieve them, what was let go, what was gained along the
way. You look back and think, Is that it? Then you get sick. And
everything changes.' This startlingly honest and often hilarious memoir
from one of Ireland's best-loved comediennes is told through the lens of
cancer treatment and its aftermath. From the moment when she heard but
didn't necessarily absorb the shocking diagnosis, through the months
that followed, Gildea describes the mixed emotion of the journey, at
once swept along on its tide and struggling to grapple with its effects.
Through depression, comedy, Catholicism, chemotherapy, the bog,
emigration, sex, mastectomy, fear and love, I've Got Cancer, What's Your
Excuse? takes a refreshingly irreverent look at life, the stuff it
throws at you, and what you do with it, as it ultimately asks: 'Did
cancer save me?
