Description:

"Robert Schimmel always made me laugh. Now he makes me laugh and cry at the same time. Cancer on $5 a Day is a true testament to laughter and the power of the creative spirit."--Billy Crystal

"Watching Robert's journey through the loss of a child and his own health issues while constantly maintaining a filthy sense of humor makes him truly inspirational. A very important read."--Howie Mandel

"Despite continuing scientific advances, the mind-body connection has never been more important. Robert Schimmel's humanity, humor, and positive energy in his book are tools all patients can use to complement modern medicine in their fight against cancer."--Leland Green, M.D., Attending Oncologist, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, California

"Robert Schimmel is a funny man. He hasn't had a funny life, however. Hearing Robert's story and how he has used his gift of humor to conquer personal challenge is truly remarkable. He inspires us all to try a therapeutic laugh in our lives."--Dr. Lawrence D. Piro, M.D., President and CEO, The Angeles Clinic and Research Institute

5cancer on five dollars a day  Oct 27, 2009
Reader beware, lots of crude jokes but I have to say I loved it. When I was on my cancer journey I decided that the best medicine was laughter....Robert Schimmel and I were both corret. Great advice, "If you want to live, keep moving forward".
God bless you Robert for making some of us laugh during our darkest hours.

5A Must Read!  Sep 22, 2009
Robert Schimmel's frank approach brings humor and witty sarcasm to the surface while facing a menacing diagnosis. Reading this while I was going through chemo made me realize that I wasn't unique in experiencing the same symptoms, thoughts, and fears. His writing makes you step outside of yourself and see the comedy about life. This book is mesmeric - I literally could not put it down until it was finished. I've purchased a couple extra copies and sent them to friends who are dealing with cancer. If you are touched by cancer in some way or even if you're not, this book is hilariously inspiring.

5Humor, truth and compassion. Excellent book.  Sep 20, 2009
Very funny, very honest, very caring. That's a tough hat trick to pull off but Robert Schimmel does it really well. If you've ever wanted to flirt with the nurse who has your hand in her armpit while she's looking for a vein, or to have sex with the nurse who's administering the chemotherapy before the nausea sets in, then this is the book for you.

5Woderful Book  Sep 09, 2009
I heard Robert Schimmel in an interview on the radio talk about his book and I decided to buy it. I was not disapointed at all. It was an amazing read and I read it all in a weekend.

5Laughs when you really need them  Sep 07, 2009
I sent this book to my brother who was in the hospital dealing with chemo side effects. It really lifted his spirits and his wife loved it, too. It was a great a great morale booster during a difficult time.
