In this book, the reader will find a refreshing perspective of hope with the knowledge that “the beauty of the soul, the real me and the real you, outshines the effects of cancer, chemotherapy, and radiation.”

This book was released on 2012-04-30 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 2012 New York Times Book Review Notable Book "Staggering, searing…Ms. Gubar deserves the highest admiration for her bravery and honesty." —New York Times Diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2008, Susan Gubar underwent radical debulking surgery, an attempt to excise the cancer by removing part or all of many organs in the lower abdomen. Her memoir mines the deepest levels of anguish and devotion as she struggles to come to terms with her body’s betrayal and the frightful protocols of contemporary medicine. She finds solace in the abiding love of her husband, children, and friends while she searches for understanding in works of literature, visual art, and the testimonies of others who suffer with various forms of cancer. Ovarian cancer remains an incurable disease for most of those diagnosed, even those lucky enough to find caring and skilled physicians. Memoir of a Debulked Woman is both a polemic against the ineffectual and injurious medical responses to which thousands of women are subjected and a meditation on the gifts of companionship, art, and literature that sustain people in need.

Book excerpt: Love you so much, a shared memoir is the story of Vicki and Karen, a mother and daughter writing in separate voices about the nearly five years in which they battle Vicki's ovarian cancer, plan a wedding, struggle with infertility, experience the joy of pregnancy, navigate the first and last days of marriage, begin and retire from careers, move across continents, visit each other as often as possible, and decide to write a book about it all. Along their journey, they discovered that life doesn't stop with a cancer diagnosis - sometimes it even accelerates, as theirs certainly did. More than thirty thousand women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year in North America and the UK alone. Any of them could have written about her cancer experience, and many have. What is unique about this book is that it is the shared story of a mother and daughter, each of them writing from her unique perspective about coping with cancer as life moves forward in unpredictable ways. This story is one of the lasting legacies of Vicki Greve, a woman who persevered through her battle against ovarian cancer with style and grace.It was written by women for women and their families, to which millions of women - and men - will relate. Proceeds will be donated in support of cancer research.

Book excerpt: Arrest the Silent Killer is the author's personal account of her courageous battle with ovarian cancer, from the frustrating search to final diagnosis in 1997, then up to the present day. It is a remarkable story of one woman's fight against a disease, known as the silent killer, she refused to give in to. We meet her family and share her ups and downs of everyday family life, and share the delight she feels in her beloved grandchildren as she makes her physical, emotional and spiritual journey to healing. We laugh with her and cry with her, but above all we share hope with her. This book is a light in the darkness as it gives hope and sustenance to thousands of other women who have been diagnosed with cancer. The author's main aim is to bring awareness of ovarian cancer into the public arena, and provide accurate medical information in layman's terms, not easily accessible to the general public, enabling women to pursue early diagnosis and possible cure. The Appendices include information on the nature of ovarian cancer, treatment options, how chemotherapy works, making palliative care user-friendly, and pain control. Hope is the message, and love is the reason. Author Bio-Marion Seferth grew up and was educated in suburban Melbourne before training as a nurse in the early '60s. She married soon after graduating and settled in a semi-rural area. Suburbia caught up with them, so she and her husband and two children moved to a hobby farm in the Yarra Valley, where she wrote about her experiences there for numerous magazines and local newspapers. They separated when the children were teenagers, and she later remarried and settled in Healesville, where she wrote a series of children'sbooks. She moved to Northeast Victoria after her second marriage ended, where she wrote this book in the idyllic farm setting of El Dorado, close to her beloved grandsons.

I am having lunch with a guy I met at a party two months ago. The guy is sniffly. "I'm fighting something off," he says. "Me too," I say. I wait a few days, till my hair comes out in clumps in the shower, then, as directed, I go back to a wig store on the West Side where they shave the rest of my hair and do the final fit for the wig. They don't like to buzz you until the hair is really coming out. They say it's too traumatic. When I get home, I take off my wig and all my clothes, and stand in front of a full-length mirror and check me out naked. I am quite astonishingly bald, but I am still dramatically girly: My waist goes in, almost everything else goes out. I look sort of sci-fi. On the Starship Enterprise, they would probably go for me in a big way. Space Tomato, I call me. Maybe I should take out a personals ad: Mature Woman Seeks Trekkie.

Book excerpt: As the writer's wife fights advanced ovarian cancer, pancreatitis and possible liver cancer, they turn to friends, family and their very different religious beliefs for strength, support and insight. During a dramatic two-year period their lives intersect with others experiencing tragedy, and they draw strength, inspiration and even joy from all of them-every single one of them. Jean Marsicano's life was threatened by ovarian cancer-known to many as the silent killer-and she was joined by her husband, her "Rock," as they focused on fighting the evil which had invaded her body. They counted their blessings, asked if their lives had meaning, and in the face of great adversity, they enjoyed life. Jean survived The Last Two Years thanks to three physicians-"Pal" and "Mitch" who supplied support and direction when they needed it most, and Dr. Goodman, a brilliant young physician who delivered Jean's medical care with skill, wisdom and compassion. As The Last Two Years end, they find hope in the face of continuing uncertainty and joy in friends, family and the beaches of South Carolina. And they realize "God was There," and will always be there with them.
