Reader Reviews

★★★★★As a caregiver, I found some parts helpful — the treatment chapter and the caregiver checklist were genuinely practical. But I wish it had gone deeper into the long-term prognosis and had more specific information about clinical trials. It's a good starting point, but it felt a little too introductory for how advanced my dad's case was. Still, I appreciated the honest tone and the lack of sugarcoating. It's the best of a difficult bunch, but I wanted more.
