There's nothing funny about cancer. But humour can help take away some of its terrible power.

In Cancer, You Picked the Wrong Girl, Shormistha Mukherjee offers a no-holds-barred account of her journey navigating a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. Through getting a Brazilian wax and deliberating the pros and cons of breast reconstruction to finding a 'setting' in the chemo ward, it's laughter that helped keep her fears in check.

It isn't all 'Cancer Lite', though. Mukherjee packs some emotional sucker-punches and hard truths in this book, making it a small piece of comfort for anyone touched by cancer.

Shormistha Mukherjee mixes travel with history, saris with sneakers, feni with Limca. Co-founder of a digital agency, she ran a very popular blog that featured her undercover name agentgreenglass and has previously published a series of short fiction stories on Juggernaut. She's most grateful to have survived breast cancer and to be given another chance to make the most of her life.
