Anita Gayton was living her best life until she was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer, a terminal illness. This book chronicles her sudden deterioration and extensive treatment, whilst exploring the emotional impact of it all, the accompanying loss of identity and effect on family and friends. It is relentlessly realistic, but also told with optimism and humour. 

It is a story of hope. 

Staying Alive: My Ride with Ovarian Cancer is for all those who may be going through something similar and those who love and care for them.
