Glioblastoma is a very fast-growing and aggressive brain tumor, making up almost half of all brain tumors. People with this type of tumor usually survive around 15 months after diagnosis. The main goal of treatment is to slow down tumor growth and ease the symptoms. Treatment typically includes surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.

Dr. Warren’s book delves into the neurosurgeon’s approach to communicating a glioblastoma diagnosis to patients, striking a balance between realistic expectations and sustaining hope and compassion amid significant challenges.

Despite the title’s suggestion of finality, optimism still shines through.
