Quick read with helpful information

This book was so helpful in preparing me for surgery and what comes after. It was specific in what to ask and what to expect. I felt I had so much to get done prior to having the surgery. This book was such a quick read with so much information in a format that was easy to use. I would highly recommend it to anyone having surgery or with a loved one doing so. Martha

Empowering

As someone who has been through brain stem surgery, I found this book to be informational and straightforward. This is so important when you need to get good information fast at a time when you are emotional and downright scared. I think having a list of questions for my surgeon that was recommended by a surgeon would have empowered me to ask questions I was too embarrassed to ask on my own.
