The C-Word is the poignant story of the relationship between one woman suffering from ovarian cancer and her partner, as they live life to the fullest and cope with the difficulties of this fatal illness. Taking the form of a diary, The C-Word is more than a personal account of cancer: it is also a complex and moving story of love, family and activism, the strengths and weaknesses of the lesbian community and the inherent challenges and rewards of each. Jean Taylor explores the topic of cancer with honesty and feeling, tackling the rarely discussed topics of loneliness within the relationship, the demands of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and the fear and calm of facing death. The C-Word is an emotional and uplifting experience, gripping and utterly unforgettable.
