On her blog, Living With Cancer, Susan Gubar regularly shares her experiences with, and reflections on, her life with ovarian cancer. In her latest post, she offers a frank account of her experiences inside a cancer hospital. While Gubar expresses gratitude for the kindness and competence of the doctors and nurses treating her, she also addresses the frustrating and frightening aspects of hospitalization – from bewildering medical jargon to invasive procedures to unappealing hospital food.
