Thanks for the Mammogram!: Living through Breast Cancer with Faith, Hope, and a Healthy Dose of Laughter
About the Book
When Laura Jensen Walker was diagnosed with breast cancer on her first wedding anniversary, she found humor to be healing in the midst of terrifying circumstances. In this energetic and hope-filled book, she draws on her faith and her sense of humor to encourage others going through the same thing. From discovering that “bald is beautiful” to navigating the world of saline breast implants, Walker recounts the highs and lows of coping with cancer.
Infused with strength and dignity, this classic book has now been revised and updated for a new generation, showing women confronting the disease–and those who love them–that faith, hope, and a healthy dose of laughter can make all the difference.

"Thanks for the Mammogram! isn't for every woman. It's only for those who've experienced cancer, loved someone with cancer, met someone with cancer, worried about getting cancer, saw a made-for-TV movie about cancer once, read about cancer on a bus poster . . . in other words, honey, this book is for you. What an uplifting, uproarious approach to an otherwise serious, scary subject. Buy a copy for every woman you know!"
– Liz Curtis Higgs, author of Bad Girls of the Bible and It's Good to Be Queen
