Available Now!

Prominent Canadian journalist, television broadcaster, and radio executive Libby Znaimer discovered a lump in her breast one hot summer’s night when she awoke in the heat, pushed the bed sheet away, and coincidentally grazed her bare breast. Three weeks later, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

In Cancerland: Living Well Is the Best Revenge is the indomitable Znaimer’s first person, no-punches-pulled account of the chain of events that subsequently took over her life.

In this candid and insightful account, much of it written as it happened, Libby shares her reactions and frustrations, and lays out the difficult choices she had to make.

Libby writes also about the lighter side of living with cancer – telling her friends, for example, and choosing a wig. She devotes a chapter to her husband – his support, his concerns, and his reactions. She takes the reader along as she fulfills a social engagement just hours after being diagnosed, plays tennis the morning after chemotherapy, and has to start a new job in the midst of her treatment. Her story is an example of how to embrace life while recovering from cancer.
