One Lump or Two - The Book

THIS AWARD WINNING BOOK IS AVAILABLE TO BUY NOW !!

Is cancer funny?
That’s a good question.
How often do we associate cancer with death and misery? Most of the One Lump Or Two?time. How often do we associate cancer with laughing and smiling? Not often. However, I discovered that laughter is the best form of medicine when dealing with cancer. But when you write a story about living with cancer, it’s impossible not to write about the emotional turmoil that goes with it.  Yes there are parts in the book relating to my fight that aren’t funny, but I will always try to brighten these times up with humour and hopefully you’ll see the lighter side of these times.

“….there’s nothing left to say now about my experience of having testicular cancer. I’ve said it all. Oh hang on. There’s one more thing I need to say. If Santa Claus gives you any advice on looking for lumps, then don’t listen to him. He only checks his sack once a year! That’s not good. Now if Postman Pat wants a chat about looking for lumps, that’s fine. He checks his sack daily!”

“One Lump or Two?” is a true story about one man’s fight against testicular cancer.

“Testicular cancer affects around 2000 men each year in the UK….Darren Couchman was one of them….if you are young and male it could be you next….if it was to be you, then this book is possibly the best treatment other than surgery.”

Darren was diagnosed at the age of 27 and a hard fight lay ahead.
However, Darren fought his cancer with his secret weapon….humour.

Full of emotion, inspiration and bags of laughter, this award winning story tells the unique way of how an ordinary bloke dealt with the terrifying news of having testicular cancer.
