On Father's Day of 2014, Jessica received news that no one wants to hear; news that changed the trajectory of her life in the blink of an eye-she had stage III colon cancer. Within these pages, Jessica, an interior designer, wife, and mother to a young daughter, recounts her journey through doctor's appointments, surgeries, medications, and chemotherapy. She'll tell you how to navigate the Nosy Nancys and BooHoo Bettys, how to set boundaries and say no, how and when to whip out your Cancer Card, and more-and she'll make you laugh, to boot.

While revealing that proper nutrition can have a dramatic effect on reducing and reversing these ailments as well as obesity, this text calls into question the practices of many of the current dietary programs, such as the Atkins diet, that enjoy widespread popularity in the West. The impact of the politics of nutrition and the efforts of special interest groups on the creation and dissemination of public information on nutrition are also discussed.
