She survived, minus a breast. Exactly 10 years later it happened again. By age 31 Katan was a two-time breast cancer survivor with the scars to prove it and a sense of humor forged by the unthinkable. Her memoir, loaded with rage and blistering humor, tells the tale of living through two bouts with death and is woven through with stories of picking up women while bald, coping with her supportive but neurotic family, running in two 10K races, and pledging to never ever date a psychotic woman again. An unforgettable account of survival. Tania Katan's plays have been seen at Connecticut Repertory Theatre, Circle Repertory Theatre, Theatre Rhinoceros, Pacific Residence Theatre, A Traveling Jewish Theatre, and Theatre of NOTE. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Didn't want to put it down As a fanatic reader, I've been looking for stories that are more than just one letter after the other on pages in a book. I have to say that while reading this book, even with the seriousness of the subject matter, I felt as though I was a close friend and confidante of the author. She allowed me to remember with her, while sharing some laughs. As I read it, I wasn't thinking, "this shouldn't have happened - you're too young" as she constantly hears from people when they find out she is a breast ... Read More Rating: - Worth Reading What I love about this book is that it's so real and honest. Tania tells it all, from the heart, and doesn't hold back. At times it can be edgy and raw, but that's what I love about it. It's funny, it's touching, and it's irreverant. Definitely a worthwhile read. I saw Tania's stage performance as well and it's even better than the book. It's the same story told in pretty much the same manner, but to see Tania act it out in person is amazing. I was blown away by her performance. ... Read More Rating: - I Love this book!!!! Tania Katan is a ROCK STAR, no two ways about it. Read this book, it will make you laugh and cry!! Rating: - Short but not shallow - moving but not mushy Katan's story is not a typical breast cancer survivor success story - in part because she got hit twice, once at 21, and again ten years later, just when she thought all was well. Katan deftly shifts between flashback and present-day in comparing and contrasting her experience with each cancer and its removal. This is a easy read that will nevertheless leave an indelible impression. Rating: - A hard-hitting, honest account which doesn't pull punches or disguise its humanness Author Tania Katan was 21 when she was diagnosed with Stage III breast cancer: 10 years later and one breast less she again faced the same diagnosis. Don't expect the usual story of pain and courage: Katan's raw, blasting memoir is playful and angry alike, covering everything from self-image and post-mastectomy sex to shopping for a mastectomy bra. My One-Night Stand With Cancer is a hard-hitting, honest account which doesn't pull punches or disguise its humanness. see more Browse for similar items by category: Biographies & Memoirs - Subjects - Books - General Professionals & Academics - Biographies & Memoirs - Subjects - Books - Medical Specific Groups - Biographies & Memoirs - Subjects - Books - Women Biographies & Memoirs - Gay & Lesbian - Subjects - Books - General Biographies & Memoirs - Gay & Lesbian - Subjects - Books - Lesbian
