suggestions please.......
Thank you to everyone who has left comments here for me. Your kind words are always more encouraging than you will ever know.
Today, mom's doctor told her to read Gilda Radner's book. I have not read her book but my immediate thought was, "NO!"
Gilda was misdiagnosed- like mom.
Gilda had ovarian cancer-like mom.
Gilda died.
I truly believe that my mom's best hope right now is hope. I think she really needs a positive outlook to help her get through this. I don't think reading about someone who has died from this disease will provide that.
If anyone knows of any inspirational books about cancer survivors, (even better if it's about ovarian cancer), would you please let me know what they are? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Best wishes to your mom for strength, love and humor.
Bless for your mum. I don't know any book like that. But I believe a great support from you are the very important she great strong now.
There is a WONDERFUL book, (although it is centered around breast cancer) call "Stories of Hope"
I believe it is available at Amazon.
If you can't find it, e-mail me and I'll send you the link.
Prayers for you, your mother and your family.
My mother had cancer and sadly passed away almost 10 years ago. She had a rapidly growing brain tumor. They gave her six months to live and she lived almost 6 years! Cancer is not a death sentence. My mother's hope and spirit sustained her long after the doctors had given up hope.
There is always hope and with medical advances today there is even more hope than there was for my mother.
Hi! I just found your blog today through BE. I don't know of any books, but I was wondering if you are familiar with "I Will Survive", which is a blog by a person keeping a positive attitude after a breast cancer diagnosis. If your Mom doesn't have access to a computer, maybe you could print out some of her more inspirational posts:
