Lookee what I discovered in the Little Free Library near my house: My question for you is this: Just who is this publication for? A medical student? No, the contents are too general, not medical enough. I'd hope medical students entering the world of brain surgery would have a textbook with a glossary. A brain tumor patient? No, the contents are too broad to be useful. A person is usually diagnosed with a specific type of tumor. All the information about astrocytomas and glioblastomas is likely to freak out someone with a simple meningioma. (I know. After my diagnosis, I made the mistake of reading the ABTA's "So You Got Yourself a Brain Tumor" pamphlet -- I might not be remembering the name correctly -- and made myself nearly hyperventilate by seeing where my symptoms seemed to match other types of tumors.) So is this wee dictionary for bloggers? Maybe!
