Book Reviews
“Seldom do writings on cancer simultaneously twist our hearts in angst, joy, humor, tragedy, and wonderment—all by reading one page. In Saving Teets, Carey Cornacchini’s down-home writing has done just that, as she strips away the doom and gloom veneer of this insidious disease and offers a beacon of hope for anyone facing a life-altering crucible. Cornacchini is a modern-day superhero who has spilled her soul for all to see, and the world is a better place for her doing so. Saving Teets is a powerful lesson on how to remain courageous in the face of long odds, and is a book you must read, and will not soon forget.”
—William Teets, author of Upside Down (One on the House), Reverend Went Walking,
and After the Fall.
“In her poignant memoir, Saving Teets, Carey Cornacchini artfully weaves together her experiences with thoughtfulness, humor, and profound perspective. With each turn of the page, readers are invited into her world, where resilience triumphs over adversity and laughter dances in the face of fear. Through her words, she offers solace, inspiration, and a reminder of the incredible power of the human spirit. This book is not just a memoir; it’s a beacon of hope for anyone navigating their own journey through illness or hardship. Highly recommended for its authenticity, warmth, and unwavering spirit.”
—Maureen Anderson, MD.
“Simply put, I loved this book. As an OB/GYN physician who has followed (too) many women through their cancer journeys, Carey’s recounting of her own story will resonate with anyone touched by breast cancer. I found the book to be raw and real and funny and inspiring all at the same time. I laughed out loud at parts, then found myself teary at others. It was quite a ride. It was so engaging, I finished it almost in one sitting. By sharing her experience with such wit and wisdom, Carey will undoubtedly help countless others feel not so alone as they navigate through a breast cancer diagnosis.”

About the Author
Carey Cornacchini
Carey Teets Cornacchini, a wife, mother, and now CeCe, was living her best life in the burbs when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011. Always referring to her first dance with the Big “C” as a drive-by, she was ecstatic to achieve her 5-year anniversary only to discover after her next mammogram that she was Stage 3.
(Talk about blindsided!)
To help her cope with her wild ride, she journaled and blogged during both journeys. Writing about it all let her release her fears and frustrations. Though she claims she’s not a writer, family, friends, and readers have said otherwise. After many overwhelmingly positive reviews, and with much encouragement (like a lot!), she decided to share her journey so others would know that treating cancer can be an experience filled with love, humor, and hope.
