Editorial Review: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 -- put 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 informed, involved, and in control of her care. Up-to-date information on diagnosis and treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, pain management, 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.

Presented as an item in a gift box to a family member who was in the hospital, recovering from ovarian cancer surgery, this book was highly welcomed. My cousin appreciated it very much and told me that it was very informative and she was happy to have received it; she felt that she would benefit from it both while in the hospital and after having gotten home, preparing for her chemo and radiation therapies.

I was diagnosed is August of 2000 with ovarian cancer and I remember seeing the Hopkins 24/7 documentary with Dr. Montz featured. I fell in love with the man and his compassion. I found this book invaluable. I am a six year survivor without recurrence and I am still learning how to be a survivor.

My wife is being treated as described, at Johns Hopkins in 2005. The book is nearly current with the world research literature on the topic, so far as we can learn. Highly recommended for patients and caregivers!
