Worth Reading
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
What I love about this book is that it's so real and honest. Tania tells it all, from the heart, and doesn't hold back. At times it can be edgy and raw, but that's what I love about it. It's funny, it's touching, and it's irreverant. Definitely a worthwhile read. I saw Tania's stage performance as well and it's even better than the book. It's the same story told in pretty much the same manner, but to see Tania act it out in person is amazing. I was blown away by her performance. She puts her heart and soul into it, and I admire her bravery to bare all to her audience. I also got to meet her in person, and I can tell you that what you read in this book and see in her show is the real Tania. And the real Tania rocks!
I Love this book!!!!

A hard-hitting, honest account which doesn't pull punches or disguise its humanness

Author Tania Katan was 21 when she was diagnosed with Stage III breast cancer: 10 years later and one breast less she again faced the same diagnosis. Don't expect the usual story of pain and courage: Katan's raw, blasting memoir is playful and angry alike, covering everything from self-image and post-mastectomy sex to shopping for a mastectomy bra. My One-Night Stand With Cancer is a hard-hitting, honest account which doesn't pull punches or disguise its humanness.
Tania Rocks!

This book is awesome! As a cancer surviour myself I could relate to what Ms. Katan has gone through. Although this book is written with humor, it did stir up feelings that I thought I had all ready dealt with. It is extremely well written and an easy read. Even if you have not had to battle cancer, I think you will enjoy this book, especially if someone you care for has gone through this terrible illness. Tania, I hope you continue writing and I will be your number one fan!
The Best One Night Stand I've Ever Had!

This is a heartfelt, funny, REAL, not-at-all-sappy, insightful, moving book. I have, thankfully, never had cancer, but I felt what it was like to live through something like that, and to come out on the other end. It is as much about life and living as it is about illness and the fear of dying.
