Here I come with a book that talked about ovarian cancer. This book is written by F. J. Montz (Author), Robert E. Bristow (Author), Paula J. Anastasia (Assistant). The title is A Guide to Survivorship for Women with Ovarian Cancer (A Johns Hopkins Press Health Book). The format of this book is paperback. Come with 224 pages, I hope you can learn more about ovarian cancer from this book. 


This comprehensive guide to ovarian cancer offers a wealth of information to ease the physical, emotional, and psychic suffering of women with the disease. The authors—two Johns Hopkins gynecologic oncologists and a gynecologic-oncology clinical nurse—place particular emphasis on the concept of "survivorship," or living life well in the face of daunting uncertainties. They stress the importance of self-determination: the right of each patient to be involved, informed, and in control of her care.

Up-to-date information on diagnosis and treatment, including chemotherapy, pain management, radiation, surgery, and alternative therapies, forms the core of the book. But the authors' immense clinical experience also means they understand what women worry about and care about, and they address these issues with true compassion. Stressing quality of life, self-determination, and living life to the fullest, this remarkable book speaks to women with ovarian cancer everywhere.
