Over the months and years that followed, she went from being an outspoken, multitasking, hands-on mother of three, reality TV star, and social butterfly to a woman who spent most of her time in bed. Yolanda was turned inside out by some of the country's top hospitals and doctors, but due to the lack of definitive diagnostic testing, she landed in a dark maze of conflicting medical opinions.

Billy Crystal is 65, and he's not happy about it. With his trademark wit and heart, he outlines the absurdities and challenges that come with growing old, from insomnia to memory loss to leaving dinners with half your meal on your shirt. In humorous chapters like "Buying the Plot" and "Nodding Off," Crystal not only catalogues his physical gripes, but offers a road map to his 77 million fellow baby boomers who are arriving at this milestone age with him. He also looks back at the most powerful and memorable moments of his long and storied life.

When Edward M. Hallowell was 11, a voice out of nowhere told him he should become a psychiatrist. A mental health professional of the time would have called this psychosis. But young Edward (Ned) took it in stride, despite not quite knowing what "psychiatrist" meant. With a psychotic father, an alcoholic mother, an abusive stepfather, and two so-called learning disabilities of his own, Ned was accustomed to unpredictable behaviour from those around him and to a mind he felt he couldn't always control.

Julia Fox Garrison refused to listen to the professionals she called Dr. Jerk and Dr. Panic, who - after she suffered a massive, debilitating stroke at age thirty-seven - told her she’d probably die, or to Nurse Doom, who ignored her emergency call button. Instead she heeded the advice of kind, gifted Dr. Neuro, who promised her he would “treat your mind as well as your body.” Julia figured if she could somehow manage to get herself into a wheelchair, at least she’d always find parking. But after many, many months of hospitalization and rehab, Julia not only got into a wheelchair, but she got back out.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 79
When Edward M. Hallowell was 11, a voice out of nowhere told him he should become a psychiatrist. A mental health professional of the time would have called this psychosis. But young Edward (Ned) took it in stride, despite not quite knowing what "psychiatrist" meant. With a psychotic father, an alcoholic mother, an abusive stepfather, and two so-called learning disabilities of his own, Ned was accustomed to unpredictable behaviour from those around him and to a mind he felt he couldn't always control.

Julia Fox Garrison refused to listen to the professionals she called Dr. Jerk and Dr. Panic, who - after she suffered a massive, debilitating stroke at age thirty-seven - told her she’d probably die, or to Nurse Doom, who ignored her emergency call button. Instead she heeded the advice of kind, gifted Dr. Neuro, who promised her he would “treat your mind as well as your body.” Julia figured if she could somehow manage to get herself into a wheelchair, at least she’d always find parking. But after many, many months of hospitalization and rehab, Julia not only got into a wheelchair, but she got back out.

It's a report tempered by hard times. In "Matricide", Daum unflinchingly describes a parent's death and the uncomfortable emotions it provokes; and in "Diary of a Coma" she relates her own journey to the twilight of the mind. But Daum also operates in a comic register. With perfect precision, she reveals the absurdities of the marriage-industrial complex, of the New Age dating market, and of the peculiar habits of the young and digital.

When Amy B. Scher was struck with undiagnosed late-stage, chronic Lyme disease, the best physicians in America labeled her condition incurable and potentially terminal. Deteriorating rapidly, she went on a search to save her own life - from the top experts in Los Angeles and the world-renowned Mayo Clinic in Minneapolis to a state-of-the-art hospital in Chicago. After exhausting all of her options in the US, she discovered a possible cure - but it was highly experimental, available only in India, and had as much of a probability of killing her as it did of curing her.

He fought hard against them, but it was a fight he would lose in December 1997. Farley's fans immediately drew parallels between his death and that of his idol, John Belushi. Without looking deeper, however, many failed to see that Farley was much more than just another Hollywood drug overdose. In this officially authorized oral history, Farley's friends and family remember his work and life.

Steve Martin met his good friend Adam Gopnik three decades ago, and in that time, Gopnik has always marveled at Martin’s ability to flourish in a wide variety of artforms: magic, comedy, art collecting, writing, and music. In So Many Steves: Afternoons with Steve Martin, New Yorker writer Adam Gopnik creates a new type of profile: a year’s worth of conversations with Martin where Gopnik pulls back the curtain on his friend’s illustrious career.

Gilda reads her story
I've read so many stories of cancer and death. For me if I am diagnosed it will be stories like this that help me to see that medicine just doesn't have the answers. Medicine sees the cancer patient as a way and means to collect money. I would never use chemo or radiation .
Gilda wasn't meant to grow old. We will all remember her as young. God is ultimately in control of when we all will die.

It’s not what I expected but I appreciated it
This is a great book. I bought it alongside Gene Wilder’s audiobook thinking I’d get two perspective of a great love and instead learned this book is about Gilda Radner’s ongoing battle with cancer.
Radner was very honest about her experiences. She shares embarrassing stories about herself as well as little insights into who she and Gene Wilder were.
My favorite thing about this book are the little moments that show off their love for one another and the brave trust they had in each other.
A worthwhile read, if you’re ok with a somber topic and a little crying.

a true cancer “guide/handbook” for any type of cancer
Gilda shares her true ups and downs of her cancer journey. Every type of cancer patient can benefit from reading this book. The Cancer Wellness Community really made a difference in her cancer journey/ life.
We are lucky in the state of Delaware to have the same place- Cancer Support Community Delaware. These communities are nationwide and you can hopefully find one near you.
“It’s Always Something” is a phrase to embrace-
not be mad at. Hugs .

Heartfelt!
I LOVED EVERYTHING about this Autobiography 💞Being narrated by Gilda herself touched me in a way that makes me want to FIGHT the Good Fight, no matter how hard it becomes 💪🏼I am Grateful and Hopeful that I can be half as Brave and Determined as Gilda was as I learn to cope with my Cancer Journey. Thank you EVERYONE involved with this project; it is a Magnificent "Work of Art" and a "Recipe for a Fruitful Life" ! I hope to meet you Gilda "on the other side". Renee 😍

You probably won’t get it to the full extent until you go through it
Heartfelt and brutally honest.
I applaud Gilda’s honesty in describing her cancer journey.
I have the feeling that her depiction of her disease was a true description of her feelings and not just trying to dazzle anyone with rhetoric.

Audio book just did not hold up ..
Any additional comments?
I have read the book years ago. I highly recommend reading the book. It's a heartbreaking story as told by Gilda with all the honesty and her own humor seeing her through. She tells her story and its hilarious!
The audio book sort of fails this story. Some of the best parts are missing.

Worth the price to hear Gilda again
I read this book many years ago just after Gilda Radner died and was affected by it. I saw this on audible read by the author and couldn't resist. It was worth the price just to hear Gilda tell her own story. She was a beautiful, funny, talented and intellegent woman who lost one hell of a fight against cancer. The story was told a month before she died and she was full of hope for survival. She fought the good fight.

Thank you Gilda!
Thank you Gilda for leaving us this wonderful gift; a glimpse into your world, read by you. It's precious and meaningful and reminds us all of how fragile life really is. Cherish each day. A must read for anyone who's been affected by cancer or touched by Gilda.

Sad...
What a brave woman who seemed so insecure throughout her life. It was sad to listen to.
