Outshine: An Ovarian Cancer Memoir (Book) - 3/4/2013 3:03:43 AM
Outshine is so much more than a memoir. Karen Ingalls uses her own experiences to guide the patient through the turbulent waters of ovarian cancer. The story starts with the discovery of a large tumour, moves through the surgery and treatments and on into the post-treatment period. Karen graphically describes the emotional roller coaster, covering points relevant to all on the cancer journey, not only ovarian cancer. In addition to the poignantly-told narrative, this book also includes a list of warning signs, risk factors, discussion points for both the patient and loved ones, and recommended resources.
I finished this easy-read book in two sessions, and would recommend it for all women, no matter what their age. Known as "The Silent Killer", by the time Ovarian Cancer's symptoms grab our attention it is often too late. Read this book and be pre-warned what to look out for. It could save your life. Thank you Karen, for sharing your story with us in such a helpful way.
