Overview

"Michella (Missy) G. McMaster learned she had Stage III ovarian cancer in January of 2007. She took a positive approach to her condition, and began the search for treatments, both conventional and non-conventional. Surgery, nine rounds of Chemotherapy and participation in clinical trials that she qualified for and experimental therapies all kept her moving forward, sometimes in remission, sometimes not. Her strong belief in the immortality of the soul and the power of inspiration and prayer in turn inspired all those around her to believe in her quest for a return to perfect health. She queried her doctors and worked with them in designing her treatment, sometimes finding therapies they had not even known were available. She listened to her body and to her dreams, a powerful ingredient in any quest for perfect health. Her book, THROUGH THE DOOR OF JUNE chronicles her journey, with insight, humor and compassion. Her vivid awareness of what every woman faces when she hears the words, ""You have ovarian cancer,"" reflects her adamant belief in being a vocal, truly engaged participant in the process of treating this 'silent' disease. She provides invaluable information and advice about how to become a self-advocate so the doctors work with the patient, not only dictating to her, to find the best route along the bike path of treatments. Missy's story is contagious, and every woman and anyone else who loves a woman needs to read this book. It is a road map, no, a bike path toward giving a strong voice to the silent killer called Ovarian Cancer. It is not so silent, and we all need to hear the warnings as they appear, never writing them off to aging, or personal habits, or ""that's nothing to worry about."" She brings more than common sense and curiosity to her own situation, she brings love and selfless commitment to a cure. Join Missy in this quest. Walk with her THROUGH THE DOOR OF JUNE."
