Book Description

Something was wrong—very wrong. Even the receptionist knew it. They would fit me in. Suddenly I was on a high-speed train—going someplace that I did not want to go. I didn’t have a reservation. I didn’t have a destination. It didn’t matter. I had the symptom. I could come on board.

As the train sped rapidly down the track, my primary care physician arranged an array of appointments with other physicians and various diagnostic tests. Descriptions of the pictures of my inner body did not verify the presence or absence of cancer. Instead they suggested a diverse assortment of diagnoses. It was like having to choose an answer for a multiple-choice question but choosing the answer that I liked best—most likely a fibroid—was not an option.

Views from the Other Side of the Looking Glass: Reflections on My Journey with Ovarian Cancer captures author Terry Downey’s experiences with a silent but deadly cancer. Downey describes finding herself on a high speed train going places that she did not want to go. As she progressed through diagnosis, surgery, chemotherapy, and radioimmune therapy, those who made the journey with her helped to transform her feelings of hopelessness and despair into feelings of hope and courage.

Ovarian Cancer (State of the Art Series (Remedica)) [Paperback]

Here I come with a book that talks about ovarian cancer. This book is written by Robert C., Jr. Bast and Maurie Markman. The title is Ovarian Cancer (State of the Art Series (Remedica)). The format of this book is paperback. Come with 239 pages, I hope you can learn more about ovarian cancer from this book.


Book Description

Ovarian cancer remains one of the major causes of cancer mortality in women throughout the world with a 5-year survival rate of approximately 30 per cent for patients with advanced-stage disease. Over the last two decades, our understanding of the molecular and cellular biology of ovarian cancer has dramatically increased. Our main challenge in the next decade is to accelerate progress in the clinical management of ovarian cancer by translating research findings from ovarian cancer biology to clinical practice, such that we can improve the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.

This involves not only the development of new biomarkers, drugs, and vaccines, but also their evaluation by means of trials that measure biological endpoints as well as clinical activity. Given the challenges and opportunities ahead of us, this is a particularly appropriate time to take stock of our current understanding of ovarian cancer and our ability to diagnose and treat the disease. The book identifies recent advances as well as the shortcomings of current practice, and places an emphasis on the latest translational studies.

"Ovarian Cancer: State of the Art" is authored by experts who have made significant contributions to ovarian cancer research in their specific field of interest, and provides a comprehensive, critical review of the rapidly expanding literature base.

No Time to Die:: Living with Ovarian Cancer [Paperback]

Here I come with a book that talks about ovarian cancer. This book is written by Liz Tiberis. The title of this book is No Time to Die:: Living with Ovarian Cancer. The format of this book is paperback. Come with 336 pages, I hope you can learn more about ovarian cancer from this book.


Book Description

In 1993 Liz Tilberis looked to have everything. She was a working mother with a family who loved her. As editor-in-chief of Harper's Bazzar, she lived at the center of the glamorous world of international fashion and was widely recognized as one of the most powerful people in the industry. And in 1993, Liz Tilberis was diagnosed with Stage III ovarian cancer.

Suddenly she was dealed with with the challenge of a lifetime, joining the ranks of the 175,000 women in America with Ovarian cancer. She underwent major surgery, grueling chemothereapy, and, eventually, when the cancer recurred, a life-threatening bone marrow transplant. Through it all, she refused to let the disease get the better of her, continuing to participate fully in her life as wife, mother, and career woman. And she educated herself about the disease that threatened her life.

Finally, Tilberis deduced that she developed ovarian cancer as a result of infertility treatments she underwent years earlier--a link that the medical establishment has been reluctant to aknowledge. Her experience led Tilberis to become president of the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund and to address countless issues surrounding the devastating disease.

From diagnosis through recovery and recurrence, and on to a rich, rewarding, transformed life, No Time to Die is a frank, no-holds-barred look into the world of fashion and a candid account of a battle with a debilitating illness.

Approaching every obstacle with optimism, humor and grace, Liz Tilberis has written a story that celebrates life and the ultimate triumph of a courageous, determined, and passionate woman.

A Guide to Survivorship for Women with Ovarian Cancer (A Johns Hopkins Press Health Book) [Paperback]

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.


Review of This Book

This important book should be included in all consumer health collections, as well as purchased by women affected by the disease.(Library Journal 2005)

This guide excels at providing detailed medical information and practical tips on ways to reduce the side effects of treatment.(Mamm 2007)

The latest developments in diagnosis and treatment are discussed—but even more so, is the quality of living itself: it's this which sets A Guide to Survivorship for Women with Ovarian Cancer apart.(Bookwatch)

Provides a great place for a newly diagnosed woman to start learning about the disease.(Susan McIntyre Minnesota Ovarian Cancer Alliance Newsletter) 

Because the authors all have years of clinical experience, they seem to understand what women worry about and care about, and they address these issues throughout the book.(Canadian Women's Health Network)
