There's not much out there for brain tumor sufferers; this book of shared experiences and insights is a good beginning. As the editor puts it: "stories of triumph, stories of death, stories of pain, and stories of gratitude." However, those in the grips of immediate treatment decisions will want more than this light smattering of treatment and hospital information. Will appeal to anyone confronting brain tumor.

A good overview of experiences from brain tumor patients
13 Sep 1999
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I ordered this book when my husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor in October 1998. He was inundated with cancer books from family and friends, and this is one of the few books he actually read cover to cover. We were amazed at some of the stories and given hope by several in particular. The book reinforces that everyone's journey is a different one, and the particular tumor diagnosis is just one part of the story. I'd highly recommend this book, along with Rebecca Libutti's "That's Unacceptable" (if it's a high-grade tumor), to anyone faced with a diagnosis of a brain tumor. (Ms. Libutti's book isn't available through Amazon.com, but you can order it through virtualtrials.com.)

A great book on a tough subject
21 Nov 2002
Format:Paperback
I purchased this book when I learned that my Dad's brain tumor had grown significantly and he was moving into the final chapter of his life. I found many of the stories to be inspirational and I learned a lot about people's real life experiences. I also read David Kessler's "The Needs of the Dying" and this was an amazing book of comfort and truth. I find knowledge to be comforting. If you do also, these books will be very helpful.
