Summary: Cancer Schmancer
Review: I never read autobiographies, but I absolutely LOVED this book! Fran is so funny. I insisted on giving my husband chapter-to-chapter updates. He enjoyed it with me (probably because it was making me so happy.) Reading her book made me want to meet her so bad! I hope I get the privilege someday!

Summary: Fancy Girl from Flushing
Review: You cannot put this book down, if your love Fran you'll love this book. You can tell she's from Queens, she tells it like it is and makes you laugh in the process, as usual, her humor comes out with a touch of class and distinction. When she takes you through her Cancer Schmaner problems she somehow gives you the strength to continuing reading. She gives you the reason to believe if you are strong and believe in yourself and your needs, a woman can get through what she might think is a world coming apart on her. A woman in doubt is not a happy woman, look for the truth if your not satisfied with your pain. I find her to be a strong woman and being a Fancy Girl from Flushing myself, I know where she came from and I know where her talents took her, I look up to her for her beauty, her talent and her great wit for life and quick comeback thoughts. This book should be dedicated to woman who think they can't.

Summary: A cancer survivor's review
Review: I was skeptical about this book but, after reading it, I'd recommend it to anyone. Not just cancer survivors. Even though my cancer (ovarian) required chemotherapy it was obvious Ms. Drescher went through the same horrible fear of being told "we found cancer". I enjoyed the humor and appreciate her efforts to promote cancer awareness. Great job Fran!

Summary: Fact filled, funny...oh yea, it's about cancer
Review: Fran Drescher has written a fact filled, chronology of her journey through cancer and mixes in plenty of funny moments along the way. She tells us her symptoms and walks us through her multiple misdiagnoses. We share her disbelief when she's finally correctly diagnosed with uterine cancer.What I liked about the book was the diary format. In plain language we learn what her body was doing, sometimes in excruciating detail. She got the cancer verdict early in the week and was scheduled to see the oncologist on Friday, the day "new patients" are seen. How she handled that is a good primer for anyone needing to see a doctor. We learn how family and friends helped her during the difficult times and there's some celebrity scooping too. This book is personal and to the point. For any woman who suspects she may have uterine cancer, this is a must read.

Summary: A Good Read On An Unpleasant Subject
Review: Fran Drescher shows herself to be a skillful writer who deftly weaves in her personal life just prior to her diagnosis and the impact it had on her life. She doesn't try to please anybody through her writing, but tells it like it is, even revealing unflattering things about herself, like times when various treatments caused her to act crazy, and all of her many phobias which originated from childhood and added to her emotional turmoil during her struggle to get well. Her show biz background and privileged lifestyle made this whole distressing subject entertaining and bareable. I liked being able to laugh and also get a bird's-eye view into her private life, while reading an insider's story to surviving cancer. Her celebrity status made this a pleasant and easy read, and I applaud her for putting her story into print. Any woman who suspects she may have uterine cancer should read this.

Summary: good medicine
Review: I'd recommend this book to anyone wanting to read a refreshing book about coping with cancer. I've read a lot of these books, and this is one of the better ones because it tells it like it is. There's enough gloom and doom out there; I, personally, prefer humor and candor. Some other reviewer said Too Much Information? Never! There's no such thing. If I'm going to spend my money (and time), I want to hear it all. I'm an adult. I can take it. My two other top picks in this coping with cancer category:
AFTER LUCY by Daniel Jones
IT TAKES A WORRIED MAN by Brendan Halpin.
Buy them! Read them!

Summary: Great, Quick Read
Review: A very quick read and glimpse into Fran Drescher's experience with uterine cancer. I admired her ability to clearly depict some of the more poignant moments of her cancer battle and recovery. While some of the other reviews practically bash her, I doubt they've ever personally experienced a gynecological cancer. What drew me to this book was my own diagnosis of cervical cancer two years ago, around the exact same time as Fran's. She beautifully shared her feelings and emotions, and I had experienced virtually the same thing, so I felt better knowing someone else carried some of the anger that I did. Overall, a great book and worth the read!

Summary: Too Much Information....But Still Enjoyed It!
Review: Too Much Information! I now know many, many private details of Fran Dreschers life. I read some of the book to my husband, and he found it to be too much for a squeamish stomach! But, I liked her writing. Her personality comes through loud and clear. It was an enjoyabe, quick read.

Summary: Very Informative
Review: Fran addresses questions and concerns that most people are afraid to ask in this very delightful audio cassette. This was my first experience with an audio book and I was highly impressed.
