At just 28 years old, and five short months after her 22-year-old sister had been diagnosed with melanoma, Jen Cerminara found herself being told that she, too, had cancer. After digesting the fact that she had Hodgkin's lymphoma, Jen set out to write the most unconventional cancer book possible. Equipped with plenty of advice, as well as inspiration and lots of laughs, this Jersey girl shows you how to get through the most difficult time of your life with a smile on your face. Laughing in the Storm is designed to inform you of what you might expect during chemotherapy and radiation.
Jen knew that to conquer cancer, she needed faith, a positive attitude, and a good sense of humor! Nothing is off limits in this book, including the large tumor in Jen's chest, her wig, and the horrendous side effects of cancer treatment.
