PartI introduces Alex's early life and employment, symptom onset and diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation. PartII presents her neurosurgeon, Adel Helmy, and a clinical neuropsychologist, Barbara A. Wilson.

Finally, Barbara concludes with a comprehensive view of Alex's recovery and gives a voice to the therapists and psychologists who worked with Alex throughout her in and outpatient rehabilitation journey. This book provides support, understanding and hope for patients who have suffered a brain tumour, and their families. It is valuable reading for any professional involved in neurorehabilitation, studemts of clinical neuropsychology and those touched by brain injury
