Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "In 2009, at thirty years old, Bryan Bishop's life was right on track. Known to fans as 'Bald Bryan,' the sidekick and soundman on the podcast, The Adam Carolla Show, his radio career was taking off. Then, he was delivered a crushing blow -- diagnosed with a brain stem glioma -- an inoperable brain tumor. Bryan's life was transformed into a grueling schedule of radiation and chemotherapy while facing his mortality. Alternately heartbreaking and hysterical, Bishop shares the surreal experiences of writing his will, taking chemo in a strip club, and (technically) the closest he ever got to achieving his lifelong dream of a threesome -- when a physical therapist had to show his wife how to bathe him in the shower during his weakened state. Whether recounting his search for the most aggressive form of treatment, how radiation treatment jeopardized his ability to (literally) walk down the aisle, or recalling the time his wife inadvertently drugged him in a pool in Maui, Bishop's inimitable voice radiates through his story. As the author celebrates how treatment shrunk his tumor and gave him a new lease on life, Shrinkage reveals the resilience of the human spirit -- and the power of laughter -- during even the darkest times"--Provided by publisher.
