Cancer Vixen: A True Story

Cancer Vixen: A True Story

The groundbreaking graphic memoir that inspires breast cancer patients to fight backâ€”and do so with style.

â€œWhat happens when a shoe-crazy, lipstick-obsessed, wine-swilling, pasta-slurping, fashion-fanatic, about-to-get-married big-city girl cartoonist with a fabulous life finds . . . a lump in her breast?â€ Thatâ€™s the question that sets this powerful, funny, and poignant graphic memoir in motion. In vivid color and with a taboo-breaking sense of humor, Marisa Acocella Marchetto tells the story of her eleven-month, ultimately triumphant bout with breast cancerâ€”from diagnosis to cure, and every challenging step in between.
