Description

Chemo on the Rocks is a shoreside seat on Rebecca (Becky) Durkin's great Alaskan misadventure. It highlights the hilarity and heartache of a young girl who finds herself marooned in Ketchikan-fondly known as "The Rock"-where she remains on her self-imposed Alaskatraz for almost thirty years. Chemo on the Rocks is witty, inspirational, satirical, and sometimes terrifying. It is a mix of pain and laughter as Becky walks the IV gauntlet, trailing behind the unfettered back end peeking through the drab hospital gown of the man shuffling before her. Chemo on the Rocks is a hard-fought battle in the fallopian trenches where Becky wages war on ovarian cancer--the ultimate wedding crasher--as it invites an entire medical team into her honeymoon suite. She slays the cancer dragon and has two children in defiance of the beast, but just when it seems life has returned to normalcy, she prematurely crashes onto Mount Hysteria and wanders aimlessly through the Hormone War Zone in the Land of the Ovary Snatchers. Everything about having chemo on the rock was made more difficult by Becky's fears of boating and flying-the only escape from the island-which became more terrifying with each trip to Seattle for surgery or testing. Chemo on the Rocks showcases the many parallels between sea adventures and cancer adventures, such as doldrums while awaiting diagnosis, the skull and cross bones of chemo, the bitter end of a failed marriage, tying the knot of another, listing dangerously, and perhaps a return to navigable waters.
