The Chemo Memoir That Tells the Truth and Brings the Music

Chemotherapy can make you feel like your body is no longer your own. Learn about the real experience from someone who has actually sat in the chemo chair and lived through the dread, the fatigue, the hair loss, the fear, the weirdness, and the dark humor of it all.

Chemo Boogers: A Music-Fueled Memoir of Humor and Hope in the Chaos of Cancer offers what so many breast cancer patients and caregivers are desperate to find: an honest and deeply relatable account of what chemotherapy is really like, paired with the playlist that helped one cancer survivor keep going. More than a cancer how-to, this is a modern breast cancer memoir focused on chemotherapy, chemo side effects, hope, and the healing comfort of music therapy.

Registered nurse Mary Ghosh is a triple-negative breast cancer survivor who endured six months of chemotherapy in order to treat this very aggressive type of breast cancer. Knowing firsthand what cancer patients and caregivers experience, Mary shares the truth of treatment with candor, humor, and heart.

Inside, you will discover how to:

• Understand the emotional and physical reality of chemotherapy through one woman's vivid lived experience
• Find comfort in humor when the side effects, fear, and unfairness of cancer threaten to take over
• Use music and curate your own chapter-by-chapter playlist to lift your spirits and create your own fighting anthems
• Feel seen in the small, strange, and rarely discussed parts of chemo that traditional cancer books often leave out
• Move through treatment with hope, practical encouragement, and a stronger sense that you can get through the tough stuff

If you are in the middle of breast cancer treatment, caring for someone who is, or searching for a cancer memoir that tells the truth without losing hope, Chemo Boogers: A Music-Fueled Memoir of Humor and Hope in the Chaos of Cancer will remind you that even in the midst of cancer treatment, you are not alone, and there is still music, laughter, and light ahead.
