Synopsis

TORCH: Tales of Remarkable Courage and Hope is a collection of 25 compelling and inspiring stories by women in the Ovarian Cancer Support Group, sponsored by the Virginia R. Cvetko Patient Education Center at Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas. Through the stories in this book, women with ovarian cancer pass the "torch" of hope to others experiencing life-threatening disease. In these stories the women reveal how they draw from their emotional and spiritual resources to complement the medical treatment they receive. The stories emphasize the meaning and hope they have found through their cancer journey. This book comes as a gift of hope and encouragement to other cancer patients, their families, friends, and professional healthcare providers. Becky Teter, the originator and editor of the book, wrote in her story: "I have endless hope! And so do you!"
