What happens when a woman is diagnosed with gynaecological cancer? How will this diagnosis and its treatment affect her? What are the implications for her sexuality and sense of self?

'Lives Interrupted' delivers up-to-date information on cancer therapy, offers insights into the complex journey faced by women diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer, and traces a woman's very personal path through the treatment of her illness.

An informed and compassionate account of what to expect, 'Lives Interrupted' includes:

• explanations of the different types of gynaecological cancers

• inspirational accounts of women's inner journeys through interrupted lives

• guidance on different treatments available and best medical practice

• details of collaborative and holistic approaches to treatment

• the latest HPV screening guidelines and the impact of HPV vaccination.

Told from the interlocking perspectives of clinician, carer and patient, this is a story of medical progress as well as of women living with courage, grace, joy and love when cancer 'interrupts'.
