After my mother was diagnosed
After my mother was diagnosed with brain cancer, I found lots of helpful words of wisdom and advice through books. Some of the ones I recommend are:
So Far, So Good: A Memoir of a Brain Tumor Patient and His Caregiver by Kathy Beechem
Chasing Daylight: How My Forthcoming Death Transformed My Life by Eugene & Corinne O'Kelly
Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End by Atul Gawande (I highly recommend this one the most.)
