I'm a Terminal Cancer Patient, But I'm Fine.
by Hilnama
4.5
I picked up this graphic novel because it was different. It wanted to talk about something real, something that most people don't talk about or share despite all of us knowing people who have went through this. I picked this book up because it's such a difficult subject to talk about, but the author lightened the mood with humor, a cute art style, and an optimistic outlook. And finally I picked it up because it was an autobiography, it was a first hand experience of someone learning they have cancer, what treatments and advice they were given, and what it's like living with it.
Can you imagine what it must've been like to have cancer, have your whole world shaken up, realize you have less than 3 years to live, and then in your weakened state take the time to write + draw something like this to help you move forward?
It was honest, and real, and talks about the little things. What brought her joy during this stressful time as well as the bad. Talks about her fears, her marriage, and her relationship with her friends and family.
I'm really happy to have read this book, and want more people to be aware of what 39.5% of men and women will be diagnosed with sometime in their lifetime.
PS: I'm sad to say that the author passed away a week before I started reading her autobiography.
