not worth it by M. Haskell (pa)  1 Stars
October 08, 2008
Well, the thing is- there's so much written about brain tumors and brain cancer. This is just a silly little book, without much concrete information. My recommendation- don't waste your money on it.

Glioblastoma Multiforme by Patricia N. Jackson (Newark, DE United States)  4 Stars
April 05, 2008
Good starter book for information and understanding. My son battled this brain tumor and has had good reviews from his doctors since August, 2005. His oncologist died suddenly in November, 2007. David misses him terribly but his surgeon is trying to step in and give us all of the feedback we need. We do believe David has been given a second chance at life. Only he can decide what he will do with it. This type of brain tumor/cancer never disappears and the cancer cells hang around in the brain forever.
The writer of this book could be David based on all she has gone through. She couldn't have written it any better.
