Exploring Books – and Life – with Boldness and Compassion Presented by Texas Oncology Foundation and KickIt Recovery Wear
Resilient Readers book club is a space to connect and enjoy reading in a new way – no pressure, no perfection, just community. Whether you’re in treatment, navigating survivorship, supporting a loved one, or caring for patients, you’ll find a circle that understands the complexity of the cancer experience while embracing the full spectrum of life beyond it.
Every other month, we gather virtually to discuss books that encourage reflection, spark inspiration, offer comfort, and open the door to meaningful conversation. Our selections span genres and perspectives, reminding us that resilience is shaped by many kinds of stories.
Take a little “me time” to settle in with our current read, and join a community that celebrates resiliency, courage, curiosity, and connection – one chapter at a time.

Current Feature Book
The Perks of Having Cancer: An Inspirational, Positive and Humorous View of a Not-So-Inspirational, Positive or Humorous Situation
by Diana Bosse.
Diana Bosse’s story becomes an upbeat, sharply funny look at the everyday realities of living with cancer. After her lymphoma diagnosis, she made a personal commitment to stay hopeful, leaning on humor—something that always came naturally to her. What started as Facebook posts about the unexpected “perks” of having cancer, she quickly noticed it resonated with others, who found strength in her lighthearted honesty and resilient spirit. She recognized that these reflections could become something larger. By turning her experiences into a book, she not only documented her own journey but also offered encouragement and laughter to anyone facing cancer or supporting someone who is.
