There’s nothing funny about cancer…or is there?

Prepare to laugh, cry, and maybe snort a little as the author takes you on a rollercoaster ride through her journey with triple-negative breast cancer at the age of 38. In this heartfelt yet hilariously candid memoir, she turns the grim reality of being a cancer patient into a series of unexpectedly funny moments.

Who is this book for?

Cancer impacts all of us, but that is not the only message here.

This is a testament to the power of humor in surviving the ups and downs of life. Anyone who wants or needs a laugh will enjoy this book. A few ideas:

  • Your Mom (Seriously, I think she’ll like it!)
  • Keep a copy in your car and instead of responding to road rage by throwing them the finger, throw this book at them
  • Kate Middleton could have used this book earlier this year to help her figure out how to tell her kids about cancer
  • Anyone who has an appreciation for boobs. There’s a lot boob talk. It is breast cancer after all…

About the Author

Author. Mom. Wife. Marketer. Cancer Survivor.

Meet Megan Bannon, a cultural anthropologist by education, marketer by profession, and humorist by nature! Before cancer barged into her life at 38, Megan joked that her fall back career would be stand-up comedy. Little did she know that cancer would be the perfect impetus to actually follow through with it!


With a knack for infusing every situation with wit, charm, and a dash of sarcasm she's on a mission to prove the power of humor in successfully navigating the darkest and most intimate of topics. Her work has been recognized as a finalist in three Independent Author Network Book Awards: First Non-Fiction, Inspirational Non-Fiction, and Health/Medicine.


Whether she's in the board room building some of the biggest brands in the world, or retelling some of the hilarious moments that took place while she was navigating the emotional and physical challenges of cancer, Megan will make you think differently about any situation.


If you are in need of a good laugh, or some killer marketing advice, Megan Bannon is your girl. Just don't let her catch you slacking on paying attention to your body and advocating for it — because she's on a mission to spread awareness of cancer detection — especially given the alarming increases in cancer amongst people under 50.


Megan lives in Frisco, Colorado with her family.
