About this ebook
This book is the opposite of a misery memoir and is certainly safe to give to cancer patients as a cheerful present. More importantly, it sheds new light on:
• Why Kim Kardashian is worth Keeping Up With
• What playlists to make for MRI scans
• The truth behind the legend of Medea
• Bikini etiquette on a deserted beach
• What to do with a glut of rainbow chard
• What an Oscar-winner should say in an acceptance speech
• How to deal with cold-callers selling life insurance
• And what to wear on a March Against Menopause (layers, obviously)

Author
Ilena von Hirsch
Ileana von Hirsch is half Greek and half Hungarian, married to a Bavarian, has three children and too many dogs. She has worked as a set designer and mural artist, has been in the travel business for 20 years and is hoping that cancer will give her an excuse to retire. The excellence of her medical care means that this is still a far-off dream. Her feelings about writing a sequel to A funny thing happened on the way to chemo are mixed, as a boring life from now on is probably a good thing.
