What does a story about a woman who had just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer have to do with fishnet stockings, a flood, some Russians, the Tenth Commandment, superheroes and Galileo?
In a year of mishap and mayhem, I began a series of email updates to family and friends to keep them abreast of my treatment, and to allay their fears that, as is often the case with pancreatic cancer, I had just been handed a death sentence. Other calamitous events were included in the updates, which were the driving force behind my book.

Praise for Cancer and Fishnet Stockings:
This book inspires, motivates, engenders thought, and yes, makes you laugh. Above all, it will help others facing their own difficult cancer journeys. I intend to recommend it to all my patients.
