When Good Boobs Turn Bad: A Mammoir by Jill Foer Hirsch

As you can probably conclude from the title, this is a memoir (or “Mammoir”) about Jill Hirsch and breast cancer.

While cancer is a very serious topic, Jill was able to get through her diagnosis, treatment, and recovery by using humor. She displays that in this book of hers.

It takes you through every stage of her battle with cancer, and it is laced with humor the whole way through.

It is very informally written, almost as if you are reading a journal written by Jill. It keeps the book interesting and fresh.

Jill proves that you can get through any struggle with the support of family, humor, (plus making people feel sorry enough for you to buy you gifts….).

This is a lovely little book. Little because it is pretty short. It was very light hearted for such a heavy topic.

5/5 stars. Fun to read and very well written

It reminded me of a book I reviewed at the beginning of the year Chief Complaint: Brain Tumor by John Kerastas

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

I am going a bit off topic for this post. But I think you all will be able to handle it. 

As you all know, or maybe not, it is October, and October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The month to bring to attention the struggle that many women go through. While a lot of you may know someone who is currently going through a difficult time with cancer, breast or not, others of you do not.
That is what awareness months are put in place for. For the individuals that are diagnosed with Breast Cancer, their lives are changed all in one moment. 
While some of us will have the luxury of never finding out what that is like, too many people do. 
I want to encourage you all to visit this website http://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/breast-cancer-awareness-month?gclid=CImKy8jC5bICFYQ7Mgod1igAyA and donate if you can. I know not everyone will be able to, and that is fine. But, every little bit helps. 

Note: I did not make that photo. i found it on google images. if you know who made it, let me know and ill give proper credit.

On a side note - October is also book month! So keep reading and writing!

Have a wonderful October, everyone, and there will be new reviews coming soon!
