Marisa Acocella Marchetto – said New York cartoonist and downtown party girl – answers this question, and many more, in this touching and often funny comic-strip chronicle of her 11-month battle with breast cancer. Drawing (literally) on everything from her first mammogram to radiation treatments, she tells the story of her illness with honesty, bravery and searing Manhattanite humour.             Unflinching in her observations and unflagging in spirit, Marchetto confronts the disease head-on, refusing to become a cancer 'victim'. Instead, she wears designer shoes to her chemo sessions and marries her long-time love, Manhattan restaurateur Silvano Marchetto, along the way laughing and crying with her friends, arguing with her mother (a.k.a. 'smother') and striking up conversations with God.             While laughing in the face of her illness at every available opportunity, Marchetto never trivialises it. ‘Cancer Vixen’ is courageous, honest, funny and frightening, but above all, it achieves the almost impossible, in taking a woman's worst fear and transforming it into something uplifting, inspiring and life-affirming.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49619726008593,"sku":"GOR001321357","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51549516792081,"sku":"GOR008453742","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0007258968.jpg?v=1750735990"},{"product_id":"ann-tenna-book-marisa-acocella-marchetto-9780307267474","title":"Ann Tenna","description":"From the celebrated \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e cartoonist and acclaimed author of \u003ci\u003eCancer Vixen, \u003c\/i\u003e a brilliant, funny, and wildly imaginative first novel: the story of an influential gossip columnist brought face-to-face with her higher self--and a challenge to change her life for the better. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Glamorous, superconnected Ann Tenna is the founder of Eyemauler, a New York City-based Web site that's always the first to dish the most up-to-the-minute dirt on celebrities and ordinary folks alike.
