Editorial Review:
Product 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

This is a very uplifting read on a gloomy topic. Hopefully you know Robert Schimmel from his Stand-up comedy act. I've seen Robert's comedy show 5 or 6 times, and consider myself to be one who recruits new fans to his shows whenever he comes to St. Louis.
I bought this book after one of Robert's appearances on the Howard Stern show. I thought this would be a good book to read on vacation on the beach.
So, here I am sitting on the beach, nice breeze, cocktail ready....I started to tear ... Read More

In many ways, Robert Schimmel is the Lenny Bruce of our times. After experiencing his performance at the Denver Comedy Works this past weekend, I read this memoir chronicling his deeply-personal, life-and-death battle with Stage III non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Bob is a stand-up comedian best known for his controversial sexual material and self-deprecating sense of humor, his HBO performances, and his appearances on The Howard Stern Show. His edgy style has gotten him into plenty of trouble. The networks ... Read More

I am not your typical book reader ,but after finding a book about your favorite comedian I could not resist.This was litterally the first book I read in over 20 years.I loved the book and was well entertained.I now have a more insight on how Robert's last decade really was.

It's always encouraging when someone beats cancer. And non-Hodgkins lymphoma is especially tough to overcome. Robert Schimmel had the advantage of age, good health, and caring support in his battle. And no doubt his determined sense of humor helped a lot too, besides bringing a welcome uplift to his fellow chemo patients. His book demonstrates that humor grows out of even the direst situation and that horniness survives all assaults.
There are no profound lessons in this volume beyond ... Read More

I started reading after lunch today, and couldn't put it down. The writing is compelling and real, and inspiring in so many ways.
I am grateful that Mr. Schimmel lived through it all, and even more grateful that his book enriches our lives by reminding us about what really matters. As a survivor myself, and having lost many relatives to cancer, the book had my emotions all over the place...but through it all, the humor prevails. I can't remember ever reading a book that had me laughing and crying ... Read More
