When Heather called me after her breast cancer diagnosis, I was heartbroken. Our sorority of breast cancer fighters and survivors is exclusive, but not coveted.

I know her collection of comical viewpoints of the uncomfortable, quirky positions that cancer fighters and their caregivers face will bring many laughs, lighten the uneasiness of sensitive topics, and encourage hope for the future.

About the Author

Heather J. Rose-Fiorentino is one of nine in her family who have battled cancer. When her mother was stricken with a very aggressive cancer, she showed everyone how to live with cancer, with grace, a sense of humor, and a strong faith.
This strong role model and nine family members fighting a battle with cancer caused the rest of the family to understand it was when, not if they get cancer. So as an educator, Heather drew each situation in a journal of her battle (there were earlier cartoons of her mother’s journey). With her family and friends’ support, this book was produced after her second bout with cancer. Hess is a family nickname for Heather and she uses it as a pen name.
Heather’s husband of thirty-three years, Joe, was a major support along with her children. Her daughter, Jennifer, was able to take her to some appointments, providing comfort and laughter, even on the day of surgery.
Now retired, Heather supports others as they fight cancer. Hoping to inspire and provide smiles during some of their rough days, Heather continues to draw cartoons, putting her unique twist on these fearful situations. Heather is working on her third book to inspire and provide hope and encouragement to others like her mother did years ago.
