Informative book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This has been the best resource I have found in my efforts to serve as caretaker for a stage 3 ovarian cancer patient. People tell me "cancer is cancer" or "ask the nurse," but having ovarian cancer specific information at my disposal has been a real blessing.

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!
