"Cancer Has Its Privileges" is one of the funniest and most inspiring books ever written about a disease half of us will end up with --- and one quarter of us will end up dying from. Christine Clifford's keen wit and unique insights --- and, most of all, her humorous personal experiences --- helps to turn a tough pill to swallow into a spoonful of sugar. Christine is America's version of a modern day Mary Poppins....they even look alike! You'll be glad Christine landed on your front doorstep and popped into your life, especially if you or someone you love is battling cancer. If that's the case, then reading Christine's book is not only just the right medicine, it's a real privilege, too!

I read only half the book and was very uninterested. The whole frist part is just letters she received that are light-hearted but not funny. (I am a cancer patient myself) I have read funnier, more up-lifting books. Barbara Johnson has a great cancer book that I loved and laughed so many times out loud. I left this book at the cancer center for someone else to hopefully find hope in.

This book was given to me by a friend and I recommend it to everyone I know who has cancer. Although I would have preferred not to have such privileges, it is very true that there are benefits to being a cancer patient. This book takes a light look at some experiences to which we can relate, and laughter is extremely important.Cancer Has Its Privileges: Stories of Hope and Laughter

Cancer patients also need to feel happier (don't we all?) This title
will help. Great book!!!

An excellent read for anyone with cancer. Especially good for anyone undergoing treatment more than once. Laughter is the best medicine... take this book with a cup of tea and enjoy.

Great book, humor is teriffic and examples are real. This book was kelpful for me to be able to see the humor through the stories shared. Inspiration to share some of my own stories and be able to speak up and acknowledge my concerns. The other day, in a restraunt rather than be embarassed I just said "Well this happens sometimes on chemo..." and kept going.

when it is all said and done - each and every one of us has RIGHT NOW to experience and enjoy or not. Read this book and listen to yourself laugh, cry and experience an awesome "right now".
