Brain Tumors: Finding the Ark: Meeting the Challenges of Treatment Choices, Side Effects, Healthcare Costs & Long Term Survival-2006 (405 pp) Paul M. Zeltzer M.D.
Most books written by professionals for the lay public are conceived from the point of view of the provider. This book is different! The chapters and their order and content have been parsed and contributed by Dr. Zeltzer?s own patients, those whom he has met in hallways in the USA or Europe as a visiting professor, and ?on-line? patients and families through many chat groups to which he has visited or contributed or just listened in on. These collaborators/ critics have navigated this road for themselves or their loved ones. Their knowledge gain is not theoretical; it has been hard fought and won.
