Gilda's Disease: Sharing Personal Experiences and a Medical Perspective on Ovarian Cancer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)One of the most feared cancers is ovarian cancer, with good reason.It may be asymptomatic; what early symptoms do appear are vague, diffuse, and often are not taken seriously by either women or their doctors.As a result, the disease is often advanced before diagnosis occurs--as in the tragic case of Gilda Radner.
This book lives up to its subtitle:sharing personal experiences and a medical perspective onovarian cancer.The personal experiences are excerpts from Gilda's book "It'sAlways Something", excerpts from letters to Gene Wilder, and comments from him.I defy any one to be unmoved by these pages. The voice of the cancer victim and the cancer survivor come through, sometimes tragic, sometimes comic, always honest.
The medical perspective, interwoven with the pertinent experiences, is equally valuable.I think it is superb.Dr. Piver has a remarkable talent for clear and succinct treatment of such complex and scary topics as surgical staging, the 30 different types of ovarian cancer, survival rates and alternative therapies.His historical perspective and obvious mastery of the field enable him to answer the most difficult question--with a minimum of gobbledegook, and with up-to-date information.This book is almost like having a humane and sympathetic gynecological oncologist across the desk.
Of course, this book could save your life or that of someone you love.Information is one of the best weapons we have against this killer.I am in awe of how much information and wisdom these gentlemen have packed into 184 pages.I could not recommend it more highly.
