Winner of the 2022 Living Now Book Award for Health/Wellness
Featured In The Washington Post's "10 Books To Read In May 2021" A
surprisingly open memoir co-authored by the married duo of a world
class oncologist and a cancer survivor about love, pain, hope,
strength and resilience while navigating the overwhelming breast
cancer advocacy movement. Off Our Chests recounts the story of Liza
and John's experience with her diagnosis and treatment. Written in
alternating voices, Liza details her treatment, the complex
decisions she had to make throughout her course of chemotherapy and
radiation, including clinical trial participation and an elective
double mastectomy, the added complexity of being treated at the
cancer center of which John was the chief of hematology and
oncology, and the emotional impact of knowing she may die as a
young woman with young children. John, who lost his own mother to
cancer at the age of 13, provides an inside look into the world of
cancer care and research, but also the perspective of someone who
understands the medicine but who was unprepared for assuming the
role of caregiver and worried husband. John adds insights into his
world of running the clinical operations of the cancer center where
Liza would receive her care, commentary on the breast cancer
machine, the need for clinical research, the high cost of cancer
care, and an easy to understand explanation of the clinical and
scientific background of oncology. While they both felt that they
were already expert commentators on their own "Cancer Channel"
during the course of Liza's illness, they both came to realize how
little understanding they truly had of what a cancer diagnosis does
to the patient, caregivers, children, family members, and friends.
Liza and John share their most intimate thoughts, including many
that were previously unsaid-even between the two of them. Both gain
an understanding of the other's life, a deeper appreciation of what
it means to be a cancer patient, and of the emotional strains of
being an oncologist where so many of the patients die on their
watch.
