Summary:
"At the age of twenty-five,
Kimiko
Tobimatsu was a young, queer, mixed-race woman with no history of health problems whose world was turned upside down when she was diagnosed with breast
cancer
. In an instant, she became immersed in a new and complicated life of endless appointments, evaluations, and treatments, and difficult conversations with her partner and parents.
Kimiko
knew that this wasn't what being twenty-five was supposed to be like... but then, she didn't have a choice. With tender illustrations by Keet Geniza,
Kimiko
Does
Cancer
is a
graphic
memoir
that upends the traditional
cancer
narrative from a young woman's perspective, confronting issues such as dating while in menopause, navigating work and treatment, and talking to well-meaning friends, health care professionals, and other
cancer
survivors with viewpoints different from her own. Not one for pink ribbons or runs for the cure,
Kimiko
seeks connection within the
cancer
community while also critiquing the mainstream
cancer
experience. Honest and poignant,
Kimiko
Does
Cancer
is about finding one's own way out of a health crisis."--from publisher.
