Miriam Engelberg, was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 43 and decided to chronicle her breast cancer journey in a series of comic strips that have now been collected in the book, Cancer Made Me a Shallower Person: A Memoir in Comics. Engelberg, mother of a then four-year-old, used cartooning as a way to cope with the shock of diagnosis, surgery, chemotherapy, support groups, and a second cancer diagnosis. The reviewers like her and the way she handles the subject matter of being a cancer survivor, and the readers all seem to love what she has done in cartooning the perils and reality of being a cancer patient and cancer survivor. Some of the reviewers describe her book as "a fusion of the deadly serious with the absurd, in the finest tradition of black humor." Some of the readers describe her book as a fresh look at how someone's life changes with a cancer diagnosis -- an inside humor for survivors -- funny, heartbreaking and totally relatable and a refreshing take on living with cancer.
