Great short read! This is the short story of Evan Knapp, who left his home at 15 to become a ballet dancer in 1980s Portland. It’s a gritty, raw, and always, striking, read. Highly recommend!

Love is the real soul-food. But ultimately, survival demands you stand up, shake off the demons, focus on the light, and take the next step. #braincandy #braincancerawareness #braincancer #alzheimers #mymemoir #mustread #cancersurvivor #cancersucks #bestrong #dontgiveup

I remember when I was a child and the warm scents

I remember when I was a child and the warm scents of cold sanitizing solution and sweet chemicals would waft up to my bedroom as mother whipped up a fresh batch of chemotherapy for Sunday brunch while gazing out on misty Lake Washington, where father worked on his Chris Craft and our Golden Retriever – Lazy Daisy – chased sticks and nipped at father’s heals.

Why “Brain Candy”? I referred to my diagnosis

Why “Brain Candy”? I referred to my diagnosis as “Brain
Candy.” It was time to rebrand my battle with brain cancer so it was more user friendly. It’s so much more fun to say you have Brain Candy at a party, making people think maybe they’d like some candy too, until they actually find out what it is..... #memoir #braincandy #braintumor #braincancerawareness #braincancersucks #mustread #cancersurvivor #laughteristhebestmedicine

Thank you @dirtymartininyc for reading and promoting the book 🤗 I definitely wouldn’t put it in the “light summer reading” category either 😂 I’m happy you’re enjoying it! #readerssupportingauthors #readersupported #summerreading #braincandy #braincancersucks #memoir #mustread #thankyou

I like to hear other people's stories. Homeless people, waiters, random people on the street -- everyone is potential prey. I'm just mad that I didn't come up with “People of New York” That would be a dream project for me. #author #filmmaker #braincancersurvivor #mymemoir #aboutme #braincancersucks #braincandy #mustread #lifegoals

It's a cliche, I know, but I wrote the story that I yearned for when I was sick. Other allegedly funny cancer memoirs were not, funny. They all felt self-pitying, or worse, they were boring. So I would like to jump in the ocean of cancer memoirs and offer Brain Candy to audiences who have or have had cancer, and people caring for a family member or a friend with Alzheimer's and they want an uplifting, smile-inducing experience. #braincancerwarriors #braincancersurvivors #braincancersucks #memoir #mustread #braincandy #cancersurvivor #alzheimers #braincancerawareness #laughteristhebestmedicine

I would like people who receive a dire diagnosis of any kind, to step back, take a deep breath, and attack. Don't give up and shy away. Self pity is never helpful. But mental and emotional strength, that's the bomb 💣#bestrong #findjoy #wednesdaywisdom #braintumor #braincancersurvivor #braincancerawareness #cancersurvivor #braincandy #livelifetothefullest #laughteristhebestmedicine #cancercommunity
