Diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2008, Susan Gubar underwent
radical debulking surgery, an attempt to excise the cancer by
removing part or all of many organs in the lower abdomen. Her
memoir mines the deepest levels of anguish and devotion as she
struggles to come to terms with her body s betrayal and the
frightful protocols of contemporary medicine. She finds solace in
the abiding love of her husband, children, and friends while she
searches for understanding in works of literature, visual art, and
the testimonies of others who suffer with various forms of cancer.
Ovarian cancer remains an incurable disease for most of those
diagnosed, even those lucky enough to find caring and skilled
physicians. Memoir of a Debulked Woman is both a polemic against
the ineffectual and injurious medical responses to which thousands
of women are subjected and a meditation on the gifts of
companionship, art, and literature that sustain people in need."
