Brain Tumours: Living Low Grade by Gideon Burrows
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.
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 two 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. Chapters:
- In it for the long haul,
- Symptoms and signs,
- Life challenges,
- Family and friends,
- Getting medical,
- Treatment,
- Prognosis,
- Reasons to be cheerful,
- Resources.
