cancer vixen

I read "Cancer Vixen" by Marisa Acocella Marchetto -- it's a true memoir of New Yorker cartoonist living a fabulous city life who gets breast cancer. She writes about how it impacts her relationships - including her fiance who runs a hot restaurant in NYC. It's a mash of serious topics and Sex and The City-type fluff. What kinds of shoes should I wear to chemo? I really enjoyed the book and bought a copy to send to my friend who has a parent with cancer.
