Chasing Normal: Balancing The Ups And Downs Of Life And Cancer A Memoir

Non-fiction. A memoir. Chasing Normal allows you to walk alongside a metastatic cancer diagnosis. You experience the everyday ups and downs and emotions that the author has encountered for over eleven years living with cancer. What do Ikea flat packs, Whistler's Mother, and mysterious comets each have in common with cancer? Well, everything and nothing at all. For Jo Rothwell, they have been the difference between living with cancer and simply living. Eleven years ago, when those around her suddenly began to tread lightly, words were lost, and the manual for behaviour was incomplete. Since then, she has become a student in the cancer classroom, acknowledging its rebellious nature but understanding that it is a part of her. Lessons learnt include; resilience, acceptance, purpose, distraction, adaptability, perspective and a master class in humour. To counteract cancer's chaos she chases normal.
