Description

Slow growing brain tumours change lives forever. This readable and moving non-technical guide is about living with a low grade tumour, a diagnosis given to thousands of people every year. It gives patients and loved ones everything they need to know about these types of brain tumours, from symptoms and treatments, to life with the disease and possible outcomes. All told in a sympathetic and knowledgable way. Featuring dozens of personal testimonies from those dealing daily with the impact of their tumours, this book offers information, support and reassurance for those with a low grade brain tumour, their family and friends. Father of three Gideon Burrows was told he had an incurable and inoperable low grade glioma brain tumour aged just 35. He discovered information was scarce for those with slow growing brain tumours and about the particular challenges patients like him face. In this book, he shares his own experiences and those of many others as they came to understand their diagnosis and learned how to live low grade. Get full and detailed information about: What is a low grade brain tumour Symptoms and signs Life challenges Family and friends Getting medical information Treatment Prognosis Reasons to be cheerful Resources A word from the author: "When I was first diagnosed with an oligodendroglioma, I felt so alone. I was given the diagnosis, and told to go away and get on with whatever life I had left. It wasn't what I needed. I needed information. I needed support. I needed the truth. I couldn't find any of that, and I realised so many others were going through the same experience. So, I dealt with my tumour and my trauma by writing about it. I hope Living Low Grade gives every reader and their family what they need to deal with this devastating disease" With love and hope, Gideon "Just diagnosed, this is a book which will help make sense of your fears." ★★★★★ Amazon "Gideon has written a very honest and helpful book about how to live with the constant uncertainty, for both patient and family. Without hesitation an excellent book." ★★★★★ Amazon "This book was better than a support group!" ★★★★★ Amazon "This was an amazing, insightful, pragmatic and humorous read, which I've been able to share with my husband who has been recently diagnosed. I cried at times and nodded in knowingness and understanding at other times." ★★★★★ Amazon "As a sufferer of exactly the same type of Brain tumour as the author this has been the most valuable resource i have read since my diagnosis surgery and chemo." ★★★★★ Amazon
