About this audiobook
There's nothing funny about cancer. But humour can help take away some of its terrible power.
'Riveting. funny-sad. And so real. I have a friend-crush on Shormishtha now!' Anuja Chauhan
'Cancer picked the wrong girl, but you picked the right book. I laughed through tears and till I teared up.' Aditi Mittal, stand-up comedian, writer
'A book for anyone who asks themselves what they'd do if life changed overnight.' Nisha Susan, author of The Women Who Forgot to Invent Facebook and Other Stories
In Cancer, You Picked the Wrong Girl, Shormistha Mukherjee offers a no-holds-barred account of her journey navigating a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. Through getting a Brazilian wax and deliberating the pros and cons of breast reconstruction to finding a 'setting' in the chemo ward, it's laughter that helped keep her fears in check.
It isn't all 'Cancer Lite', though. Mukherjee packs some emotional sucker-punches and hard truths in this book, making it a small piece of comfort for anyone touched by cancer.
