Book Overview

Part inspirational cancer-survival story, part memoir-as-laugh-riot, Cancer Schmancer picks up where Fran's last book Enter Whining, left off. After the publication of that book, Fran's life began a steady downward spiral. She separated from her long and complicated relationship, her TV series started to slip in the ratings and her beloved dog's health was in major decline.

Discussing Cancer with Humor as only Fran can

Cancer is a serious subject, yet Fran managed to write about it in a way that makes you laugh as well as cry. Sharing her experiences will help many women. Buy this book. The information it contains is priceless. You will not be sorry. Diane Gasparri Offutt

Fantastic Insight, Answers, and Awareness. OUTSTANDING BOOK

Fran Drescher brings fantastic insight into the symptoms, proper treatment and diagnosis of cancer, as well as vital questions that you should ask your doctor if you are facing the challenge to overcome this physical one. A VITAL part of this book is how we MUST read, learn, and know as much as the doctor - so we can ask the most intelligent questions in order to receive the BEST treatment that is necessary for us individually. A LOT of it has to do with attitude, where NOTHING can stop you, and you CAN overcome the challenge before you. Written with truth, sincerity, dignity, and intelligence - exactly as I remember Fran to be when I worked with her on the set of 'The Nanny.' This book is just as fantastic as she is. 'Cancer Schmancer' is a tremendous inspiration, as well as a vital gift and contribution to all who need it. Barbara Rose, author of "Stop Being the String Along: A Relationship Guide to Being THE ONE" and 'If God Was Like Man' Editor of inspire! magazine

.......Brutally Honest

I have always admired Fran Drescher, especially after reading this book. Her honesty and humor help the subject matter of cancer seem to make things that happen almost bearable. Also, her advise to "get other opinions" is definatly one that everyone should follow.

If you love autobiographies, you will love this one.

I love to read first-hand accounts of those that overcome huge obstacles in life. This book tells us honestly about a beautiful love between two high school sweethearts destroyed by one tragic event that happened in the darkness of night in their own home, the pressures of keeping that marriage together while working together on a hit television show and then the breakup of marriage and the ultimate life-threatening event: Cancer. Dealing with two years of not feeling well, numerous doctors and the loved ones that thought Fran was losing it, she finally got a diagnosis and was able to move forward with surgery, treatment and the healing process. She has found a new love and shares with us many a personal moment. We experience her growth with her.I read this book in one night and wanted to spend time with this woman. I believe she is brave and a hero, as well as a wonderful role model. Not to mention, she's funny.I would highly recommend this book. It is a great read, as well as a wonderful, inspiring and enlightening gift.
