What is Cancer Vixen : a True Story about?

<p>&#8220;What happens when a shoe-crazy, lipstick-obsessed, pasta-slurping, fashion-fanatic, madly-in-love, about-to-get married, big-city-girl cartoonist with a fabulous life finds . . . a lump in her breast?&#8221; <br><br>That&#8217;s the question that sets this funny, powerful and poignant graphic memoir in motion. In vivid colour and with a taboo-breaking sense of humour, Marisa Marchetto tells the story of her 11-month, ultimately triumphant bout with breast cancer &#8211; from diagnosis to cure, and every challenging step in between.<br><br>But <b>Cancer Vixen</b> is about more than surviving an illness. It is a portrait of one woman&#8217;s supercharged life in Manhattan, and a wonderful love story. Marisa, self-described &#8220;terminal bachelorette&#8221; meets her Prince Charming in Silvano, owner of the chic downtown trattoria Da Silvano. A month before their wedding, she receives her diagnosis. She wonders&#58; How will he react to this news? How will my world change? Will I even survive? And . . . what about my hair?<br><br>From raucous <i>New Yorker</i> staff lunches and the star-studded crowd at Silvano&#8217;s restaurant, to the rainbow pumps Marisa wears to chemo
