“Thanks so much for your journal. I’m a pediatric oncologist and I shared your book with one of my adolescent/young adult patients today. He really connected with your story and sense of humor. It was a really nice end to what started as a difficult visit. So, thank you again for sharing. I Wanted to make sure you know that this makes a difference.”
“I’m a medical student and this taught me more about the reality of chemo than any lecture I’ve had in school. Thank you for this perspective. It’s going to change the way I look at my future patients, for sure”
“Love your comic! I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer (and it scares me half to death but reading your comic makes me laugh and suddenly I feel better again!) so if nothing else, thank you for making me laugh out loud!”
“It’s a bittersweet love, but I do love seeing your journal. I have lost some friends and family members to various cancers. When I read these pages, I almost feel like I can talk with them again and share some of their experience. It’s really touching and valuable to me. I just wanted to let you know that your writing and drawings are doing good things for maybe more people than you realize.”
“My mom had been diagnosed recently. Ever since, before her surgery and then chemo (still ongoing) I’d share your comics with her – we laughed and cried and got scared and comforted reading them together”
“This brings back a lot of memories, and I have to admit I cried. I’ve never met someone who’s gone through it before that really wanted to talk about it like this, and I want to truly thank you for that. keep the funny, I think it saved me.”
“I’ve been going through the process of possibly being diagnosed with lymphoma (I have a biopsy on Friday) and I cannot express how much your journal has put my mind to rest on how it actually feels to go through something like that. I just wanted to let you know that this has really helped me, so thank you :)”
“Your journal has been a huge help and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. It’s helped me heal emotionally as I’ve confronted and talked openly about the things that happened. I know that you will help fellow cancer patients and survivors.”
