What if you reframed a cancer diagnosis as an invitation to enjoy your life more intensely than ever before? What if chemotherapy were a time to broaden your mind and expand your heart, making deeper connections with family and friends and new connections with everyone else you encountered? Chemo Pilgrim recounts such a journey, as the author balances six rounds of chemotherapy with trips to different monasteries or holy sites. The reader is invited along, into the quiet zendo of a Buddhist temple, the consulting rooms of a university hospital, the deep, mysterious sensuality of an Orthodox monastery, and more. Meanwhile, the cancer takes on a life and a timeline all its own, as unpredictable as the pilgrimages. Each section of this journey builds on the ones before, but does not prepare us for what comes next. In Chemo Pilgrim, Cricket Cooper wrestles both with her own faith as an Episcopal priest and with her budding study of mindfulness, to find a way through cancer and chemotherapy that can keep her open on the journey, and alive to her own life.
