F*ck Cancer: A totally inappropriate self-affirming adult coloring book (Totally Inappropriate Series)

*A portion of the proceeds from this book will be donated to support research dedicated to finding a cure for cancer. Because fuck cancer.

This book is for you.

If you are fighting cancer, this is for you. If your brother, sister, mom, dad, son, daughter, relative, or friend is fighting cancer, this is for you. If you've lost someone to cancer like I have, this is for you. If cancer affects your life in any way, this is for you.

The stress of cancer can feel crushing. But perhaps this book can help you get away from it all, if only for a little while, coloring your stress away and infusing your mind and body with some much-needed positivity. Every little bit helps. With 35 gorgeous and inspiring, single-sided, frameable designs inside ranging from simple to intricate, most include uplifting messages...from the socially acceptable "You've got the heart of a fighter" to the cheekily profane "You are stronger than this shit."

So find a comfortable place to artistically unwind, raise your spirits, and boost your inner resolve to fight harder and keep going. For yourself and for those you love.

You can. You've got this. I believe in you.

Has cancer affected your life? Chances are it has--it certainly has mine.

In 2013, my brother died after a 15-year battle with a rare, incurable cancer. He was 46 years old, and I cannot tell you how many times I uttered the phrase "fuck cancer" while he was fighting it.

I still do. On a very regular basis.

John fought hard, with grace and a seemingly unlimited supply of positivity that I am still in awe of to this day. He was in incredible pain for all those years, but rarely complained or wallowed in self pity. Accepting what he could not change (his favorite phrase was "It is what it is"), he made the best of each moment. He was grateful for every day that he lived, and stockpiled memories with his wife and kids, friends and family, touching lives in ways I never realized until after he was gone.

My brother was a total badass in how he handled living with cancer.

This book is for him.

And this book is for you. If you are fighting cancer, this is for you. If your brother, sister, mom, dad, son, daughter, relative, or friend is fighting cancer, this is for you. If you've lost someone to cancer like I have, this is for you. If cancer affects your life in any way, this for you.

The stress of cancer--whether you or someone you love is facing it--is immense. And if this coloring book can bring a little relief, hopefully a smile, and perhaps even a boost to your inner resolve to fight harder, to keep going even when you're tired, hurting, and don't think you can, then it will be doing exactly what I hoped it would. For you.

You are worth it. You are not alone. You are a total badass. And I believe in you.

You've got this.

Warmly,
jen
