Most of Me: Surviving My Medical Meltdown

Most of Me: Surviving My Medical Meltdown by Robyn Michele Levy is a candid, darkly funny, and deeply human memoir about illness, fear, resilience, and the healing power of humour. With sharp wit and honesty, Levy recounts the early warning signs of Parkinson’s disease, from a dragging foot to a disastrous moment on a yoga mat, followed by the shock of her diagnosis.

As if Parkinson’s were not enough, Levy then discovers two breast lumps, faces breast cancer, undergoes a mastectomy, and learns to navigate life with what she calls her “diverse disease portfolio.” Along the way, she introduces a memorable cast of family, friends, health professionals, and wonderfully personified companions.

Heartbreaking, hilarious, and refreshingly original, Most of Me is a strong choice for readers of medical memoirs, women’s health stories, humour, survival, and personal resilience.
