At the age of twenty-five, Kimiko Tobimatsu was a young, queer,
mixed-race woman with no history of health problems whose world was turned
upside down when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. In an instant, she
became immersed in a new and complicated life of endless appointments,
evaluations, and treatments, and difficult conversations with her partner and
parents. Kimiko knew that this wasn't what being twenty-five was supposed to be
like ... but then, she didn't have a choice.
With tender illustrations by Keet Geniza, Kimiko Does Cancer is
a graphic memoir that upends the traditional cancer narrative from a young
woman's perspective, confronting issues such as dating while in menopause,
navigating work and treatment, and talking to well-meaning friends, health care
professionals, and other cancer survivors with viewpoints different from her
own. Not one for pink ribbons or runs for the cure, Kimiko seeks connection
within the cancer community while also critiquing the mainstream cancer
experience.
Honest
and poignant, Kimiko Does Cancer is about finding one's own way out of a
health crisis.
