The last thing Lisa Lynch had expected to put on her things to do before you re 30 list was beating breast cancer, but them s the breaks. So with her life on hold, and her mind stuffed with unspoken fears, questions and emotions, she turned to her computer and started blogging about the frustrating, life-altering, sheer pain-in-the-arse inconvenience of getting breast cancer at the age of 28.

The C-Word is an unflinchingly honest and darkly humorous account of Lisa s battle with The Bullshit, as she came to call it. From the good days when she could almost pretend it wasn t happening, to the bad days, when she couldn t bear to wake up, Lisa s story is emotional, heartbreaking and often hilarious. The C-Word will make you laugh and cry, and ultimately reaffirm your faith in life.
