LAUGHING THROUGH TREATMENT

Being diagnosed with cancer can be frightening, but it also gives you license to
get away with a lot of things you wouldn’t do otherwise. Laugh With Kathy takes
you on a journey through breast cancer and finding humor in the diagnosis,
treatment and survival of the disease through one patient’s experience.

THUMBING HER NOSE AT CANCER

Alternately laugh-out-loud funny and deeply moving, Kathy gives you glimpses of
what it takes to beat breast cancer. Read along as she blows up pumpkins, throws
eggs, and uses her bald head to shame bad drivers. Laugh with her as she finds
interesting ways to thumb her nose at some of cancer’s indignities and uses her
unique observations to humorously challenge every twist and turn on this
unpredictable journey with breast cancer.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Kathy started writing in high school and hoped to become a journalist, until she
discovered that sticking to the facts was boring. Kathy spent the majority of
her life as a compulsive volunteer helping nonprofit organizations with
membership and financial campaigns. But she always returned to writing. Kathy
lives in Urbana, Iowa with her husband, Gene, and walking companion, Luci Dog.
If she’s not working on her latest blog, you can find her reading, creating
websites, traveling, or laughing with her friends.

EXTREMELY FUNNY

“I found myself laughing out loud . . . It is very well written, inspiring and
extremely funny. You’ve done a fantastic job of chronicling your fight with
cancer in a way that will uplift and entertain. I would absolutely suggest this
book to anyone going through a life-threatening illness. ”
E

LIGHTHEARTED HUMOR

“Read it. Loved it! I didn’t want it to end. Your lighthearted humor is awesome!
Purchasing another for a friend! Please keep writing! ”
E

CANDOR

“You have enriched so many lives out there with your candor & honesty as you
“told it like it is”, but with your own special twist.  You definitely made me
“Laugh with Kathy”! ”
E

OPEN, HONEST, FUNNY

“I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and at this moment I am going
through my first round of chemo as I write this. I love your blog! Thank you for
being so open, honest, and funny. It really cheered me up.”
E

LAUGHED AND CRIED

“Can’t tell you how much I laughed and cried while reading your book. I think my
favorite line in the book was when your friend told you to tell the person
signing you in that you were having surgery for a sex change operation. That is
just so funny. When I get down about having cancer, I think of that.”
E

SHARING THE JOURNEY

“Because of your experience with cancer and book, I am able to see humor in the
valley. Most of the time my friends and family don’t get it. Just wanted you to
know your journey is making a difference in mine. God bless!”
