The Ovary Jones Show--Where cancer patients share hope, lessons learned, and the blessings hidden in the storms of life.

Host, Melanie Holscher talks to Jeff Stewart about his journey from the set of Jeopardy! to the infusion chair and finally No Evidence of Disease (NED)

“This morning I tried to donate my kidney. This afternoon the transplant team told me I can’t. I have cancer.” That's the opening to the new book Living: Inspiration from a Father with Cancer written by today’s guest, Jeff Stewart. Jeff Stewart is a molecular biologist, Jeopardy! champion, and father of seven. As NPR put it, Jeff brings “insider advice for anyone facing a cancer diagnosis.” Living is for anyone whose family has been touched by cancer. Jeff can be contacted directly through his email or followed on social media on Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, and @rNPVJeff on Threads and X/Twitter.

“A moving message-in-a-bottle, full of aphorism and insight.” —Ken Jennings

“Beautifully written and powerful. Frank and funny and totally honest and much needed in the cancer conversation.” —Marc Silver, author of Breast Cancer Husband and My Parent Has Cancer and It Really Sucks

“Flat-out one of the best books I’ve read in years. A major new talent.” —Cover to Cover Book Beat

About host, Melanie Holscher:

When leadership and business performance coach, Melanie Holscher, learned she had Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer, it sounded more like a sentence than a diagnosis. There always seemed to be more questions than answers. The uncertainty was frightening. Life was interrupted and fighting cancer demanded everything she had and more. Waiting for doctors, test results, and her body’s response to various treatments provided ample time for her mind to slip into unfamiliar darkness.

Tapping into her experience as a success coach working on mindset with thousands of business professionals, Holscher brings the mental game required to fight cancer to the center of attention because that is where it all begins and ends. Through the coaching of her peers and the success principles she internalized, Holscher continues to defy odds and live fearlessly to help the society of warriors she affectionately calls “Ovary Jones”

She detailed her fight and her discovery that mindset truly does impact outcomes so every warrior can tap into the power of healthy thinking. Becoming Ovary Jones: How to Fight Cancer without Losing Your Mind is more than a story. It is brimming with 25 life-prolonging lessons to invade, challenge, and expand every fighter’s thoughts in a powerful, profound way. Because action mitigates fear, every chapter concludes with “Actionable Hope” –things every cancer fighter can do to bolster courage and a healing mentality.
