Flashing Lights: The Cancer Diaries (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798288764882)

What if your worst fear came true-and you decided to write about it?

When Erin Cox was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer, she didn't become a guru or grow spiritually enlightened. She got pissed. She got real. And she got loud. What followed was a brutally honest, wildly funny, and unexpectedly hopeful chronicle of life after you hear the words "it's cancer."

But, be advised:
This book is not a pink-ribbon fairytale.
This is what cancer actually looks like.
It's screaming in your car for 45 minutes.
It's hiding your fear from your kids.
It's getting Botox before your buzzcut, because you can only take so much.
It's wanting to bash your husband's head with a baseball bat.

Flashing Lights is a raw, unfiltered memoir told through Erin's viral "Cancer Diary" entries-a mix of confession, chaos, gallows humor, and grace. It's for anyone who's ever been diagnosed, misdiagnosed, cured, chemo'ed, or simply terrified of the moment life stops going according to plan.

This is a deeply relatable memoir for:

• Cancer warriors and survivors

• Friends and family of someone battling illness

• People who are tired of toxic positivity

• Anyone who's ever said, "WTF, Universe?"

• Those searching for humor and humanity in the darkest of places

You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll schedule your mammogram.

More than a cancer story, Flashing Lights is a testament to telling the truth, reclaiming your voice, and refusing to let illness define you. Because sometimes the bravest thing you can do is just be yourself. And tell cancer to f*ck off.
