Remission Impossible

“Cancer, alternatively known by its technical name, ‘that thing that happens to other people,’ is no laughing matter. Life, on the other hand—that thing that happens to all people—certainly is. Or, indeed, it should be if we are to stand a chance of surviving it.”

From its bold opening statement to its lingering final line, Remission Impossible follows one man’s attempt to outlive cancer and outlaugh life. More than a glimpse into the mind of a hopeful pragmatist, it is a personal examination of universal experiences and a quest to find lessons even in life’s less enjoyable moments. This work is at times introspective, at times moving, and at times surprising, but at all times absolutely hilarious — affirming that with the right mindset, everything is possible, even the impossible.
