Join us for "The Other Side of Cancer" as two political, funny, feminist, and literary authors talk about life before and after cancer.

Cancer Babe sounded too sweet, and Cancer Vixen was taken, so when Sandi Wisenberg was diagnosed with early-stage cancer, she became Cancer Bitch.

The oldest of three sisters, Handler began introducing herself to doctors as the "well sibling" when she was nine.  She was ten when her younger sister Susie died of leukemia, thirty-two when her sister Sarah died of a rare blood disorder. "Invisible Sisters" celebrates Handler's life with and without her sisters.
