Saving Teets: A Comedic and Inspiring Story About Breast Cancer Survival hit the #1 position on the Amazon USA, Australia, and Canada Best Seller Lists. The book has also been featured on multiple Amazon Hot New Release lists.
Carey Teets Cornacchini wrote this book to help readers change the way they assess the role cancer plays in their life. She details the diagnosis, biopsies, surgeries, treatments, and everything in between. Alternatively amusing and heart wrenching, with her world at its worst, Carey’s at her funniest and most honest.
Saving Teets is a story for anyone navigating their own cancer journey. It explores the challenges and triumphs of facing a cancer diagnosis with gratitude, grace, and humor. Many readers laugh and cry as they read a whole new perspective on how to adapt to, and ultimately cope with, this insidious disease.
Teets Cornacchini said, “This is the kind of book I wish I had been able to read when first diagnosed. I always try to find the humor in a situation and this attitude and grit helped me learn that navigating through cancer is doable and even, absurdly laughable. I hope my candid journey will help readers find strength, resilience, and hope while developing a positive attitude, even amid chaos.”
Carey Teets Cornacchini is a wife, mother, and grandmother. She was living her best life in the burbs when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011. Always referring to her first dance with the Big “C” as a drive-by, she was ecstatic to achieve her 5-year anniversary only to discover after her next mammogram she was Stage 3.
To help her cope with her wild ride, she journaled and blogged during both journeys. Writing about it all let her release her fears and frustrations. Though she claims she’s not a writer, family, friends, and readers have said otherwise. After many overwhelmingly positive reviews, and with much encouragement, she decided to share her journey so others would know that treating cancer can be an experience filled with love, humor, and hope.
The book has been reviewed by doctors treating Teets Cornacchini. Many have commented they have learned more about the patient experience and mentioned the book will help medical staff better serve them. Joe Anderson, MD. said, “I am an oncologist with over 30 years of caring for cancer patients like Carey. I can’t recommend [Saving Teets] highly enough… I laughed and I cried. And mostly I learned. Though I have journeyed with hundreds of patients over the years, her account reminds me how different and individual each journey is. I think I will get a couple dozen copies to share with our fellows in training and support staff.”
Saving Teets: A Comedic and Inspiring Story About Breast Cancer Survival is now available on Amazon, in both Kindle and paperback format. It will soon be offered through other retailers.
