Cancer on Five Dollars a Day *Chemo not Included by Alan Eisenstock, Robert Schimmel (2008, Hardcover)

I enjoy Robert Schimmel's humor and my brother is experiencing a recurrence of his non-Hodgins lymphoma. Made me laugh and cry and really emphathize with some of the things he went through the first time that I didn't know about. I hope Mr. Schimmel is lucky enough to have many years of remission.

Great book for anyone that knows someone with cancer. It gives a peak into their mind and a glimpse at what they are going through, in a humorous way at times.

Every so often a book, a movie, a show comes along that can't be explained. It has to be experienced for oneself. "Cancer on Five Dollars a Day" by Robert Schimmel (with Alan Eisenstock) is one of those experiences. This is a book that left me laughing, crying, and thinking all at the same time. I actually had to force myself to put the book DOWN! It's not that often that I can say that.

It's not very often that a book like this comes along. I think people should take the time to stop and read this book. I believe that it'll help them with their daily lives. It certainly did with mine.
