I wish there had been a book like this when I was fighting
alongside my partner, Stella, as her 24/7 caregiver in a 19-month
battle against the deadliest brain tumor, glioblastoma multiforme
(GBM). Too often I felt sideswiped by unexpected obstacles. The
Internet was a great resource, but having a book at hand
illuminating the day-to-day struggle--treatments, questions,
decisions, emotions, surprises--would have helped immensely.
After Stella died in November 2000, I wanted to write such a
guidebook for caregivers and patients who, sadly, are following in
our footsteps. As I reviewed hundreds of e-mails to and from
friends, Brain Tumor List members, doctors, and others, I realized
the book was already written. It provides an almost-daily,
immediate chronicle of our experiences, including weeks in a
Mexican clinic. A detailed Table of Contents and Index help readers
find information about doctors, treatments, medications, and
problems ranging from bed sores to radiation injury.
In addition, the book offers a positive message about love,
devotion, and fighting for life that, I hope, will inspire others
as they confront negativity on a daily basis in their struggle to
prevail against all the odds.
