Product Description
At last, a book about chemotherapy that tells the truth and goes straight to the heart of the matter. There are people who would rather suffer and die than face the side effects of chemo—the very thing that may well save their lives.

Chemo is tough to handle, true–but it can be handled! Handled in a way to conquer the beast, kick it in the face, and make your future years the best years of all!

Best-selling author and chemo veteran, Elaine Jesmer and the people she profiles in “I’m Hot!…and I’m Bald!”: CHEMOTHERAPY FOR WINNERS use wit, laughter, tears and triumph to show how chemo patients and caregivers can manage the side effects, outsmart the fear, and get on with the best of their lives.

Reviews:

By interviewing people going through this experience and trying to understand how they approach their diagnosis and their decisions for treatment, Elaine and many others have recognized that instead of being frightened, one can embrace the elements of treatment as warriors leading them to victory, or guides along a path to healing.
Dr. Philomena McAndrew, medical oncologist, Tower Hematology Oncology Medical Group, Tower Cancer Research Foundation.

What a breath of fresh air! This is a must-read for anyone negotiating the healthcare maze. Ms. Jesmer chronicles her journey with resilience, strength, and sense of humor. For those patients, families, loved ones, and friends who need a practical, optimistic primer designed to inform and educate, Ms. Jesmer’s empathic prose is a unique perspective on the cancer experience.

“I’m Hot!…and I’m Bald! CHEMOTHERAPY FOR WINNERS” will quickly become the “go-to” reference for people with cancer, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and organ transplants, who are going through chemotherapy, and for those in their lives who care for them. It is a real book, about real people and real situations, as well as many wonderful suggestions and referrals. I know it will be something I personally recommend for my own patients during their journey with cancer.
