Persevering with Brain Cancer: : A Search for Hope and Health

By Jeff Schmiedel

Book Overview

What if, one day, your life was perfect - everything you had dreamed it could be - and before you know it, it's turned upside down? Jeff and Kris had been married for three years and were planning on starting their family. Then she had a seizure at work. Neither one knew what a seizure was, or a mass on the brain, or a lesion. After surgery and radiation, Kris was given a clean bill of health. Then the unthinkable happened. An unrelenting headache and a massive seizure revealed the tumor returned with a vengeance, larger and more invasive. At the age of 36, Kris was given four months to live. Four months! Conventional medicine had failed them. So, what do they do now? In Jeff's own words, he tells the story of their journey to make Kris well. He shares their struggles and triumphs, their challenges and aspirations. You will meet Kris's mom Jackie, who helped to provide the care Kris needed, and Kris's twin sister Sue, who struggled to make sense out of her best friend's tragic turn of events. Sadly, it's a story all too familiar. In their search for hope and health, however, Jeff and Kris discover that a way to heal yourself from cancer and disease already exists.
