Very helpful

I found book this very helpful, particularly chapters 5 and 6. Chapter 5 tells you what changes and challenges to expect. Chapter 6 gives helpful suggestions for how to deal with family and friends, when you are dealing with a serious brain cancer condition. I was reading this as a family member. The book is also written to help people with a brain cancer diagnosis.
