Book Review: The Cancer Olympics by Robin McGee

Dr. Robin McGee was the victim of a medical incompetence nightmare. How did so many doctors miss her cancer?

The first thing I noticed about The Cancer Olympics was how much I adored McGee's writing style. Her descriptions are fantastic and sometimes even humorous, which is demanding considering the sensitive subject matter. 

After reading the first few chapters I could not help but be infuriated by how she was treated as a patient. I wanted to cheer when she found doctors that took her seriously.

Dr. Robin McGee was a clinical psychiatrist when she received her diagnosis and this allows her to provide more insights into her feelings during the cancer treatment process. The entire time reading I was just hoping for good news, would she go into remission?

In my opinion, McGee succeeded in adding humor into her book because she knew when to be serious. She covered the good and bad times equally and did both well.
