Melissa draws attention to our degrading medical system in hopes to help other women who either have a loved one or are facing this hideous disease called ovarian cancer. She belts it out in the way only a true New Yorker could, with pure raw pain and sometimes anger, and deep disappointment in our failing medical structure. I did not put it down, I read it all in a day/night. I cried, and she even made me laugh because her personality is so much like mine.
Her love for her Mom is strong. steady, pure and her pain is devastatingly deep. Get this book, anyone can benefit from reading it and learning about how they can avoid certain pitfalls for themselves or a loved one with cancer.
Melissa teaches you to follow your gut, hold those Dr.'s accountable, and never ever give up.
