Cancer, you picked the wrong girl : a true story
- Noida : HarperCollins Publishers India, 2021
- 221 p. ; 22 cm
There's nothing funny about cancer. But humour can help take away some of its terrible power.
In Cancer, You Picked the Wrong Girl, Shormistha Mukherjee offers a no-holds-barred account of her journey navigating a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. Through getting a Brazilian wax and deliberating the pros and cons of breast reconstruction to finding a 'setting' in the chemo ward, it's laughter that helped keep her fears in check.
It isn't all 'Cancer Lite', though. Mukherjee packs some emotional sucker-punches and hard truths in this book, making it a small piece of comfort for anyone touched by cancer.
