The End of My Life Is Killing Me
The Unexpected Joys of a Cancer Slacker
Book • 2026
After an unexpected Stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis, New York Times bestselling author Annabelle Gurwitch rejects the 'cancer warrior' archetype, embracing her role as a 'cancer slacker' with no runs, ribbons, or religion.
Through sharp wit and unflinching honesty, she explores mortality, inequities in cancer care, tiny victories like crusty baguette ends, the pleasure of sucking at hobbies, and the power of female friendship.
Gurwitch upends 'live each day like it's your last' to celebrate the extraordinariness of everyday life.
