"I would highly recommend this book for its information and straightforward and honest style." ★★★★★ "We have learnt more from this book than the oncologists and the internet. Gideon, thank you from the bottom of our hearts." ★★★★★ "Well written about a difficult subject. Had everything I needed to know about anaplastic astrocytoma grade 3." ★★★★★ "Great clarity and personal insight." ★★★★★ "A no-nonsense look at currently incurable brain cancers." ★★★★★ "Everyone is different so all of the examples from such amazing people are important." ★★★★★ Glioblastoma and anaplastic astrocytoma are two of the most common form of brain tumours in adults. Too often they can be life changing, even life limiting for patients, wreaking devastation on their families. This readable, moving and non technical guide is your comprehensive patient focussed guide to these obstinate brain cancers. It covers everything from getting an accurate diagnosis, to dealing with the physical, mental and emotional impact of the disease. From treatment options and how to cope with their side effects, to newly developing techniques and future research. This book presents an honest and realistic picture, with a personal approach. It features dozens of personal testimonies from those with these high grade brain tumours and their loved ones. The book offers information, reassurance and support on these, the most complex of brain tumours."I found this book very useful in helping me understand this type of brain tumour, it’s impact on the sufferer and the way it is treated. The author is himself a sufferer and and the book is interspersed with a number of personal accounts of other people’s experiences of brain tumours, both their own and those of close family members." ★★★★ GoodreadsA word from the author, Gideon Burrows: "This book is a guide to adult glioblastoma and anaplastic astrocytoma for patients and their loved ones. The two brain tumours that are considered to have short life expectancies, and life changing effects before, during and after any treatment. Through offering basic medical information about brain cancer, as well as information about treatment options, prognosis and impact, I hope to help those affected to understand these brain tumours as best they can."I hope to arm you with information that will form the basis for further research, for questions to oncologists, surgeons, doctors and support organisations. And I hope to illustrate, as best I can, what life and perhaps death can be like with these brain tumours. "Some of what I have to share, and the very real and generously shared stories of others who have been affected, you will find helpful. Some you won’t. Some information you may know, much you will not. There are parts that some of you may not wish to know or face, while others will crave every word on every page. "Whatever you take away from this book, I hope to provide you with some support, knowledge and empowerment."/b>
