A word from the author:
"When I was first diagnosed with an oligodendroglioma, I felt so alone. I was given the diagnosis, and told to go away and get on with whatever life I had left. It wasn't what I needed. I needed information. I needed support. I needed the truth. I couldn't find any of that, and I realised so many others were going through the same experience.
"So, I dealt with my tumour and my trauma by writing about it. I hope Living Low Grade gives every reader and their family what they need to deal with this devastating disease."
With love and hope, Gideon
