I was reading Healthbolt earlier today when I came across this gem - Cancer Vixen. The name pretty much sums it up. Told in graphic novel form, cartoonist Marisa Acocella Marchetto tells her tale of battling breast cancer.
Her intro reads:
What happens when a shoe-crazy, lipstick-obsessed, wine swilling, pasta slurping, fashion-fanatic, single-forever, about-to-get-married big city girl cartoonist (me, Marisa Acocella) with a fabulous life finds…A LUMP IN HER BREAST?!?
Full of dark humor, irony and honesty, Cancer Vixen is a great read. Check it out and Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.

I love this!!!
There is one part where she says I'm 44 years old, just getting married and have NO TIME for you Cancer!!
It's brilliant and a great gift for people dealing with Cancer in the family or themselves (as long as they are ready to find it funny...if that makes sense)
1She was featured in some magazine a while back...maybe People or Glamour. I tore it out and mailed it to my aunt (who was undergoing chemo) and she loved it.
2Wow. Thanks for sharing this. Inspirational and funny. I hope they post more of it tomorrow.
3Yeah, BeeMoney, I think it was Cosmo, but it may have been Glamour.
