Why do mums stay at home and dads go to work? Why do women treat
men like idiots around babies? Where are all the new fathers we
hear so much about? When he became a dad, Gideon Burrows didn't
realise other men didn't do an equal share, or that he could have
got away with doing far less. On his journey to fairer fatherhood
he encountered dismissive midwives and father phobic workplaces,
fanciful media stereotypes and patronising playgroup mums. He
discovered the real reason men don't do childcare. And what we
should all do about it.
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.
