Default Fran's book

Has anyone read Fran's book "Cancer Schmancer?"

I've started it and I like it.

I've had the book for a couple of years now and I think it is a great book.

I loved Cancer Schmancer. Fran is a really talented writer! Its humorous as well, despite the topic, which is cancer. But its everything you'd expect Fran to say and think, and I thought it was a very entertaining read.

Thats cool. For one my college computer class I did a power point presentation of Fran and got a 100%. My teacher was very impressed with it.

"Cancer Schmancer" was a great book, even though it's about her cancer. It's also very sad about how Chester passed away and Fran being raped. If you liked this Fran book, check out her other book, "Enter Whining".

It was a really good read. Fran manages to stay optimistic and humorous throughout the whole cancer ordeal. The chapter about Chester's death was very sad.

I'd recommend it to anyone.

I own the book, and I've read it many times. I agree with everyone so far, it's inspirational, humorous, and a must have if you love Fran. She really bares her heart and soul in the pages. It's a very enjoyable read, and a tear jerker too.
