Sass Advanced Uterine Cancer Back

OSCEOLA, Ind., Aug. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Tatum Ink — One of every 41 U.S.
women will be diagnosed with uterine cancer in her lifetime. More than half will
be 50 to 69 years old. In 2006, freelance journalist Rita Tatum, author of Sass
cancer Back: Living with Spirit (Xlibris: 2011), became one of them.

Uterine cancer, also called endometrial cancer, starts in the uterus’ inner
lining. When caught in early stages, it’s highly curable. Five-year survival
drops to between 15 and 25 percent when the cancer is found in one or more groin
lymph nodes, as Tatum’s was. In 2010, 43,470 U.S. women were diagnosed with
endometrial cancer. And, 7,950 died from it, according to the National Cancer
Institute.

“Survivor stories offer hope for cervical and ovarian cancers,” says Tatum. “Far
fewer address endometrial cancer, even though it averages 10,000 more diagnoses
annually than the other two gynecologic cancers combined.”

So, Tatum wrote Sass cancer Backto provide uterine cancer warriors an advocate
for their journey. She uses a mind-body-spirit approach to battling advanced
uterine cancer (stage IVB) as an equal, proactive member of the oncology team.

“Because you live in your body, you know far more than you realize. That
instinctive knowledge makes you the expert. They cannot win without you,” Tatum
maintains.

For the mind, medical details about uterine cancer and clinical trials, as well
as complex surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation treatment information are
presented in an easily understood, often lighthearted style. Tatum provides
questions to ask for various treatments and hilarious perspectives on the
patient-oncologist relationship. For the body, Tatum shares tips and recipes for
addressing fatigue, appetite, pain and other physical issues cancer and its
treatment present. Her joyous spirit is protected by faith and prayers.

Filled with hope, confidence and refreshing laughter, Sass cancer Back is
available in paperback and e-book editions from publisher Xlibrisand booksellers
worldwide.
