Cancer Schmancer (Abridged) Audiobook

" Women going through cancer can be comforted, entertained and enlightened by this book. Fran D.'s patient-to-patient, woman-to-woman tone is so conversational that one feels relieved to know that someone else really does know and truly care what it is like to have to face cancer and triumph past it. "

" This was an easy, relatively light read especially given the subject matter. The message is a good one: people should be aggressive in pursuing their own health. Several people mentioned that the writing was poor, but I was engaged enough in the story to not notice any deficiencies in the writing. "

" Everyone should learn the symptoms for uterine cancer because you just might have this much trouble getting a diagnosis. it is also insightful to travel with The Nanny through her emotional journey to health. "

" I saw her speak so thought I should read her book. She was seen by 9 doctors and misdiagnosed by 8. She is a survivor of uterine cancer. She stresses finding your voice and being your own best health advocate. I like her humor and take on life. "

" I'm a sucker for celebrity biographies and autobiographies. This book follows Fran Drescher's battle with uterine cancer. The book is written in a light-heartened style and is both funny and touching. "

" This book is definately better then the first one (Enter Whinning) - it is a book that is inspiring and funny. Fran Drescher gives some great advice, shares much of her personal emotional experience dealing with cancer and states strongly to not always settle on the first opinion of somebody - to trust in yourself "

" Loved Fran's outlook as she went through this trial. She is such a strong and positive woman. "

" I never liked the Nanny. I never knew I liked Fran Drescher. I do know I like her now. This book brings humor and inspiration to a very serious subject, and raises awareness. "

" Easy read. Good reminder to keep up on your personal health and to second guess doctors. "

" This is a good memoir about the nightmarish trials and tribulations of having cancer (and being misdiagosed!). A good lesson and warning to anyone about the importance of knowing your body and of getting second opinions, even from supposidly "reputable" doctors! "

" Enjoyed, Enter Whining, also, happened to see this book @ local book sale & scooped it up, also, enjoyed reading as my Sister was diagnosed w/breast cancer, this year. It had a lot of informative information & made me laugh in parts. "

" I adore Fran Drescher, and this book made me love her even more. I can't fathom anyone going through what she did, but appreciate that she shared her story. I can absolutely relate to the connection with her dogs too! "

" A very good book about Fran dealing with being misdiagnosed for way too long, to finally being diagnosed with uterine cancer, and through her surgery and recovery. Very honest and inspiring. "

" Her story is good, and she's such a strong woman. She triumphed through such an arduous ordeal. This memoir of hers only makes me like her all the more. "

" It was hilarious and very touching. Great message about listening to your body and intuition and being your own advocate. "

" greatttt book! "

" The real "Nanny" well written Fran had her struggles. If you like her on TV, you will love her in print. As a cancer survivor this book was inspirational. Very enjoyable. "

" "The Nanny" was actually much more entertaining on screen than in a book ... but she did try and you can't veto that! "

" I enjoyed reading this book, plus as a fellow cancer survivor, it hit home for me. Mixed in with the humor, there is information in this book that all women should read. Listen to your body and keep going to doctors until you find out what is wrong. Thank you Fran for sharing your story. "

" a no-nonsense, get-it-all-out-there documentary firsthand from the highly-recognizable voice of the nanny herself...felt like i was reading a letter she wrote directly to me and found it very funny the carelessness of language. love this lady, glad she made it out alive to tell her story! "

" It was hilarious and very touching. Great message about listening to your body and intuition and being your own advocate. "

" I actually enjoyed this book. Fran has survived so much & still sees the beauty in life. "

" Mr: - Mrs: OK, her comes my outing: I am a big Frannie the Nanny fan! So, this review might be a bit biased, however...: I really liked this book! I read it when I had medical issues as well, and her stories and her witty Jewish humor made things a little more bearable again for me. "
