When Glynis is diagnosed with ovarian cancer, at first she doesn't believe it.

But once she realizes this is not a nightmare and the tests are not lying, she finds herself on the verge of a decision-wallow in self pity or put on her big-girl stretchy pants and dance out loud.

"I wanted to say something profound about why I wrote this book," says Glynis in Cancer. No Laughing Matter (But it Helps!). "I wanted to tell the world that everyone should read it and learn all kinds of things about how to handle what's happening. I wanted to help people understand that surviving cancer is possible and it's all about your attitude, so you better smarten up. This book doesn't promise one iota of any of that. But I think it does whisper some rather odd things into the already confused and scared brain of those dealing with cancer, and testing, and chemo, and side effects, and panic and sleeplessness, and the list goes on. Odd things and feelings and emotions that only someone dealing with, or caring for someone with cancer, gets."

Glynis is an award-winning author and freelance writer and has owned and operated Angel Hope Publishing for the past eight years. Faith, fun and a wholesome read are the goals for all Angel Hope Publishing books. In Cancer. No Laughing Matter (But it Helps!) Glynis has managed to turn a sometimes-terrifying subject into one that not only honours God, but also offers hope, encouragement, comfort, joy, and a jolly good read.

In her book, Glynis doesn't gloss over the truth and willingly tells us about the times when she wonders if she is being neurotic, psychotic, or just plain idiotic. She honestly shares how she tries to cope. How she tries to survive and how the love of friends, family and faith lesson after faith lesson help her through.

As an added bonus, Glynis shares the stories of others who have experienced the rigours of cancer, including a writer friend who was slowly dying of stage four pancreatic cancer. God pressed it upon her heart to interview her friend for the book, and it turned out this gracious woman was thrilled to be able to share what it was like 'preparing for eternity.' Glynis describes it as a little like walking on Holy ground.
