Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times says, "Laughter, tears, and the indomitable spirit - they're front and center as Jerry Perisho details his very personal war with prostate cancer." Jerry Perisho has been a CEO or senior officer with various southern California corporations since 1982. Additionally, he is a professional freelance comedy writer who created and operated a very successful joke writing business. When he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2004 at the age of 52, he discovered that his cockeyed view of the world and his sense of humor helped him survive the surgery, chemotherapy and two years of hormone therapy that were to follow. In fact, he flourished. This is his tender and hilarious story of the tears, the fears and the many funny things and amazing people he has encountered since cancer entered his personal world.
"For many years Jerry Perisho provided wry one-liners to my sports column, 'Top of the Sixth,' later known as 'Open Season.' The column died, but you couldn't stop Jerry's wit if you drove a stake through it. He's the only guy I know who can make cancer a laughing matter.'' Tom FitzGerald, San Francisco Chronicle.

“Jerry Perisho, for years one of my favorite sports humorists, now aims his comedy knife at cancer. What a funny, inspiring competitor!” Joe Hickman, HaLife.com

“Jerry Perisho makes me money and makes me laugh. Kudos to a great comedy writer and an even greater person.” Dobie Maxwell - Chicago Comedian of the Year 2007

"There is nothing funny about cancer...except Jerry Perisho. Only he could write this book. Cancer is tough. Comedy is tougher. Jerry Perisho has managed to conquer both." Comedy Writer Jim Barach

“I can hardly wait for Jerry to translate his inspiring new book into Canadian. Eh!” Cam Hutchinson, Canadian sports humor writer
