Description

In the spring of 2000, stand-up comedian Robert Schimmel was identified as having stage III non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and quickly the flame of his white-hot job started initially to fizzle.But Schimmel never-lost his spontaneity, his searing honesty, and primarily, his enthusiasm to create people giggle. Certainly, it was his fundamental need certainly to entertain—even when the only people around him were experiencing cancer and the area he was enjoying was the Mayo Hospital infusion center—that transported him through his ordeal.Alternately chuckle-out-loud hilarious and profoundly moving, Cancer on $5 each Day is just a stirring account of how one man’s encounter-off with a deadly illness helped him better understand herself, and fundamentally transformed his lifestyle.
