Dr. Sidney Winawer, chief of gastroenterology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, thought he was being paged. "Winawer. Winawer," a voice called. But it wasn't the hospital's paging system that was beckoning him; it was an intake nurse, calling to admit his wife,Andrea, for her surgery for metastatic stomach cancer. While Winawer had treated thousands of cancer patients before his wife became ill, seeing Andrea wearing a shapeless, flimsy hospital gown shocks him; how could the hospital make someone wear something that unflattering? From the invasiveness of endoscopies to the brutal side effects of chemotherapy, the treatments he administered day after day horrify him when he's forced to examine them from his new perspective. After the surgery to remove her tumor, Andrea's grim prognosis--six months to live, given that the cancer has spread to her liver--leaves him powerless and embarrassed. One of the world's preeminent cancer experts, a man who admits he entered medicine mainly for the power it provides, won't be able to save the life of his own wife. The story gains momentum when Andrea seeks out alternative medical treatments. Andrea's condition eventually worsens, we see the family alternately falling apart and coming together. The ultimate triumph of the book is Andrea's wonderfully willful spirit.
