An illustrated guide to surviving the ‘I have cancer’ conversation
Cancer sucks and so does talking about it. Mostly because people just don’t know what to say. Glossary of Awkward is your illustrated guide to surviving the "I have cancer" conversation - whether with friends, partners, colleagues, or even your (hard-to-empathize) doctor. Written by a newly-wed couple living with cancer, this beautiful giftable book features original cartoons inspired by all the awkward things people say when you reveal a cancer diagnosis. This little book is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud, scream YASSSS, or some combination of the two.
