Cancer on Five Dollars a Day (chemo not included): How Humor Got Me Through the Toughest Journey of My Life
Autor Robert Schimmel Cu Alan Eisenstocken Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 ian 2009
In
the
spring
of
2000,
stand-up
comedian
Robert
Schimmel
was
diagnosed
with
stage
III
non-Hodgkin's
lymphoma,
and
soon
the
fire
of
his
white-hot
career
started
to
fizzle.
But
Schimmel
never
lost
his
sense
of
humor,
his
searing
honesty,
and
most
of
all,
his
passion
to
make
people
laugh.
Indeed,
it
was
his
basic
need
to
entertain—even
if
the
only
people
around
him
were
suffering
from
cancer
and
the
room
he
was
playing
was
the
Mayo
Clinic
infusion
center—that
carried
him
through
his
ordeal.
Alternately laugh-out-loud funny and deeply moving,Cancer on 5 a Dayis a stirring account of how one man's face-off with a deadly disease helped him better understand himself, and ultimately changed his life.

“Offers an edgy, humorous look at [Schimmel’s] battle with the disease.”InfoDad.com, 1/29/09
“Personal, profane, often overdone and equally often hilarious…The book bursts with life, and its message of fighting back—coupled with its equally strong message of trying anything when you have nothing to lose—is sure to resonate with families dealing with any type of serious disease, not just cancer.”
OpEdNews.com, 2/5/09
“Incredibly interesting and very, very funny…While this is not what I’d call a light read, it is anything but grim. It’s the story of an extraordinary man who is painfully honest about himself, his illness, and how it changed him. It’s the archetypal human drama; the hero and the telling are beautiful but raw…I highly recommend Schimmel’s book. You’ll get to know him and learn something, all while laughing your head off.”
Blogcritics.org, 3/21/09
“A very fast read…[Schimmel] tells his story without pulling any punches…Cancer on 5 a Dayis written in a friendly, relaxed manner that helps the reader to immediately empathize with Schimmel's plight.”
Omaha World Herald, 3/26/09
“Schimmel spilled a goulash of emotions, thoughts, observations and roguish jokes into his paperback.”
