Author Debra Jarvis, a chaplain at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, wrote this book about her own experience with breast cancer. Publisher's Weekly describes her sense of humor as "bawdy" and this book does contain profanity, so it may not be for everyone. However, those dealing with their own or a loved one's cancer may find its honesty especially helpful.
From Amazon.com: Debra Jarvis works as a chaplain supporting patients at Seattle’s Cancer Care Alliance (the clinic founded by the world-famous Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Institute). In that capacity she meets daily with patients in at many points along the path of living with cancer, from diagnosis to treatment to recovery and facing death. So in one of those ironic twists of fate, Jarvis was diagnosed with breast cancer herself. It’s Not About the Hair is the account of her time with cancer....This is a cancer story that won’t give you the creeps, but it will guide you to think deeply about the serious stuff like ingrained views on health and disease, life and death, the time we have and how we want to live it.
