Synopsis

When Tania Katan was 21 years old, she was diagnosed with stage-3 breast cancer. She survived minus a breast. Exactly ten years later it happened all over again. By age 31, Katan was a two-time breast cancer survivor, with the scars to prove it and a sense of humor forged by the unthinkable. Loaded with rage and blistering humor, her memoir is an account of surviving two bouts with death; it is woven through with stories of her coping with a supportive but neurotic family, dealing with egomaniacal girlfriends with nothing but dyke drama on the brain, picking up women while bald, running in three 10k races, and, ultimately, finding the love of her life.
