Nobody wants breast cancer, especially after watching their beloved mother die from it.
Why would anyone say this journey was the beginning of the happiest years of their life?

Because it had an awesome playlist, that's why. Here's how Beverly's Kicking Cancer's Ass soundtrack was built. She started with the classics: the support of sex-positive partners, fabulous family and friends. Mixed in plenty of feel-good music and added some medicinal marijuana. Spiced it up with books, body-positivity, kittens, boudoir photography, and more. Threw on a big, glittery tiara.

Because sometimes one has to throw on a crown and remind Cancer who it's dealing with.

Sex, Drugs, Rock 'N Roll, and a Tiara is at times funny, and others, heart-wrenching. Beverly's experiences with breast cancer give the reader a positive way of approaching disease. She is uncompromisingly determined to live life to the fullest and an inspiration to all of us.

I love how she brings her sexuality into every bit of her life, refusing to be stopped by her disease. She gives meaning to the term sex-positive.
