BEST BOOK FOUND!

THIS BOOK WAS VERY WELL-WRITTEN, IN DETAIL, OF GERDA'S HUSBAND GOING THRU THE LAST STAGES OF HIS LIFE WITH AN ASTROCYTOMA TUMOR. SINCE MY DAD IS NOW AT THIS POINT IN HIS LIFE, IT GIVES ME AND MY FAMILY INSIGHT AS TO WHAT MAY HAPPEN NEXT AS HE LIVES EACH FORTHCOMING DAY. IT IS A NEEDED BOOK FOR INSIGHT FOR THOSE WHO ARE CARING FOR ONE WITH THIS TUMOR. WE WOULD NEVER HAVE KNOWN OF ALL OF WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING, AND IT'S RELATIONSHIP TO THE BRAIN CANCER IF WE HAD NOT READ THIS BOOK. THIS IS OUR SECOND COPY WE ARE GETTING! A MUST-HAVE BOOK!!!THANK YOU FOR KEEPING THE JOURNAL, GERDA, AND FOR HELPING THE REST OF US COPE.
