A woman thru remarkable courage & indomitable spirit conquers a brain tumor!

A must read book for anyone with this diagnosis. On Monday, Karen Brownstein played tennis and took her children swimming. On Tuesday, she packed for her family's move from NY to CA. On Wednesday, a doctor found the tumor in her brain. In the summer of 1976, Karen was genuinely "surprised" to be diagnosed with a brain tumor. This is her personal story of her triumphant battle to remain alive- won by medical expertise, advanced technology, and her own spirit. From this, Karen has crafted a love story, a medical success story and an inspiritional story as well. Miracles of modern medicine saved her life, but people saved her sanity and sustained her courage as she confronted this devastating diagnosis. It shows how your partner, parents and friends can get you thru the many periods of doubt, fear and depression. This book celebrates the triumph of the human spirit within each of us, and is an inspiration to anyone with any kind of cancer.
