From multiple award-winning comedy writer, Angelina Assanti, comes her first non-fiction book. Determined to keep her sense of humor though cancer, she talks about what happens to a patient from diagnosis through treatment. Told she would only need surgery, she was shocked to learn she would also need chemotherapy and radiation at her post-surgery appointment. With candor and laugh-out-loud moments, she describes her interactions with people who did not understand what she was going through. Angelina delves into both the physical and mental toll that cancer takes on a patient. The reader experiences each hurdle as the journey unfolds.. This is a no-nonsense guidebook for those with cancer and a must-read for anyone affected by this life-changing diagnosis. This book was awarded two national President's Awards from the Florida Authors and Publisher's Association and was a 2016 Finalist in the international Readers' Favorites contest.

Assanti, Angelina: - Angelina is from a small town in Massachusetts. Growing up in New England gave her an appreciation for sarcasm. She was a radio personality then transitioned to stand-up comedy but she found her real passion when she penned her funny debut novel called "The Lottery Heiress." With the success of that first novel, she went to work on the follow-up, "Mark Taylor's Checkered Past" which went on to win a President's Award in Humor from the Florida Authors and Publishers Association. She felt legitimized as a writer being granted access to Betty Ford to do the research for that novel. In the middle of the third book in that series, Angelina found out she had cancer. After radical surgery, radiation treatments and some rounds of chemo later, she decided to write her first non-fiction book entitled, "Thank God I Got Cancer...I'm Not a Hypochondriac Anymore!" This book was hailed by Reader's Favorites who said, "Assanti's prose is beautiful and she knows how to connect with readers through her masterful use of humor." The book has also won two President's Awards from the Florida Authors and Publishers Association. Now she asked to speak at various events to warn people about getting their annual check-ups. Her life was saved because of early detection so now she speaks about that as well as prevention.
