Klappentext

Cancer sadly afflicts many women of reproductive age and infertility affects 10 % of couples. Without doubt cancer and infertility have a devastating effect on women's lives and their families. The vast majority of people will go to enormous lengths to seek remission from long-term cancer, but a woman who has cancer and no children will often be prepared to risk her life to have a baby.

This book is about hope. Hope of a cure. Hope of having a baby. Hope of good strategies to live well. The majority of women with gynaecological cancer are cured and the remainder live for many years with their disease. There are an increasing number of clinical and support options open to women facing a life-changing diagnosis.

Dr Richard Smith, a world-leading expert and pioneer in the management of gynaecological cancer and infertility provides practical guidance and reassurance on the best choices available to women. This book will be essential reading not only for those facing a life changing diagnosis, but for their partners and families who inevitably share the burden.
