"Living with a Brain Tumor: A Guide to Taking Control of Your Treatment" by Dr. Peter Black, Chief of Neurosurgical Oncology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Prof. of Neurosurgery at Harvard Medical School, and chair of the Dept. of Neurosurgery at Brigham&Women's Hospital in Boston. This is a very well-written, straightforward, compassionate and hopeful book for patients with brain tumors, their families and friends. It covers primary as well as metastatic tumors, and was published a little less than a year ago, so it's up-to-date on treatment methods. It could be a helpful addition to the her2support.org's web page on Brain/Central Nervous System mets.
