Cornacchini takes a serious subject and interjects both humor and humanity into her memoir, Saving Teets: One Woman's Journey With the Big "C". With a maiden name of Teets. (Yes, you read it correctly - TEETS) she was destined to have a sense of humor. How can you not with a last name like that? She often wonders if having this last name somehow predestined her on this cancer journey. Who knows? Wanting something original for the title she finally realized there was a great use for her last name - thus "Saving Teets" was born.
