ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Regina Stoops is a woman who knows how to handle a drunk heckler, a tight 12, and a friend who is systematically emptying the cancer center of its snack foods.
Regina is also finishing her forthcoming book, The Road to Normal: Stories from a Life that Never Followed the Map, a collection of stories drawn from her blog, childhood memories, family life, and some of the rougher patches along the way.
The book became more urgent after Regina received a recent cancer diagnosis. She talks candidly about treatment, staying present, focusing on her health, and finding humor wherever she can.
Because when your friend starts stuffing Cheez-Its into her purse during your cancer treatment, there’s only one thing you can call it: Cancer Costco.
