I picked this up the afternoon I got my biopsy results and couldn't form a single coherent question for my doctor. It helped me understand what 'benign neoplasm' actually meant — that it's not cancer, even though it sounds scary — and the chapter on questions to ask was a lifesaver at my next appointment. I knocked off a star because I wish there had been more specific detail about my particular type of tumor (I have an enchondroma), but for a general guide, it's genuinely comforting and practical. I've recommended it to my sister who's been helping me through this.
