Summary

Random House presents the audiobook edition of F*** You Cancer, written and read by Deborah James.

**As seen on BBC Breakfast**

You are stronger than you know, more positive than you ever thought and you can still LIVE with cancer.

Drink more green juices, eat turmeric, walk for three hours a day... Arghh, I wanted to scream, run away and tell every well-meaning person to go and do one!! The barrage of cure cancer advice that came my way when I was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer was enough to make anyone feel overloaded, let alone at a time when you are trying to get your head around having the Big C at the age of 35! I wanted hope and I wanted to feel normal, to drink wine, buy nice shoes and go to the pub – but all the advice I came across told me to cut out pretty much everything and retreat into my cancer cave.


Whilst this book doesn’t advocate throwing everything down the kitchen sink, it will help you to navigate your feelings through the big C roller coaster, remind you that it’s ok to feel one hundred different things in the space of a minute and most importantly show you that you can still live your life and be yourself with cancer.

From diagnosis (welcome to the club you never wanted to join) and surviving chemo through to how to cope with family and friends (can everyone just fuck off sometimes), managing the huge mental roller coaster, looking good (lipstick is your best friend) and feeling better (drink the wine), and celebrating milestones (drink more wine), F*** You Cancer is your up-lifting cancer coach in a book.

Packed with top tips, laugh out loud stories, insider advice and heart-warming case studies it will transform your mood and encourage you to shout #fuckoffcancer as loudly as you can!

Thank you so much to Deborah James for this book & her posts as ‘Bowel Babe’. I can hardly write this for tears. I had Stage 3 bowel cancer but had the ‘no sign of disease’ report in June 2020, after a bowel resection op & 6 months of chemo. In December 2020 I have been diagnosed with a large metastatic tumour on my ovary & a tumour in my liver. I need a big operation to remove both tumours & more chemo. Re-reading Deborah’s book has been calming, supportive & relatable; I too have two young children. Read it if you have cancer or are close to someone who does. It’s like therapy. Thank you Deborah (p.S. you were great on the BBC Breakfast news this morning 30.12.20)

Great resource for anyone either going through or caring for someone with cancer. I also recommend as a gift for someone that has just been diagnosed.

A very thought provoking and inspirational book aimed at people living with cancer, but also for those lucky enough not, to as it brings appreciation of life in an honest and truthful read/listen. You can hear and feel the emotion in Deborah’s voice as she shares her story which is heartbreaking at the same time as being truly humbling and humorous at times. Thank you.

I loved this book and wish I had found it when I was starting my journey with cancer, but I found it now and it's given me perspective and helped me examine that time, it also brought back memories of things I have been shocked to discover I've forgotten,like lugging around my chemo pump for 4 days every 2 weeks. please purchase this book you won't regret it.

remarkable book by a remarkable woman
