Joyce was also the New York correspondent for The Washington Post and a contributing editor for New York Magazine and Rolling Stone.
Her best-selling memoir about breast cancer, ‘My Breast’, has been translated into several languages and was adapted by Ms. Wadler as a CBS television movie. Gloria Steinem called the book, “An irresistible and intimate story of defeating cancer with humor and self-respect.”
"Cured, My Ovarian Cancer Story", originally published as a cover story in New York Magazine, tells the story of Ms. Wadler's later battle against advanced ovarian cancer, as well as her discovery that she carried the BRCA-1 genetic mutation, which puts women at higher risk or breast and ovarian cancer. Like 'My Breast', it is a cancer book which will make you laugh -- and one with a happy ending.
