Overview

This is the true story of the life-changing experience of a healthy man, who at the age of thirty-six, was diagnosed with the most aggressive type of malignant brain tumour. The world he knew became a battlefield of the mind and body alike. Having been given a few months to live, he endured the disturbing challenges of a state hospital, defying all odds with his uncomplaining attitude and positivity. The book emphasises his perseverance through seemingly impossible situations. Despite his deteriorating vision and unremitting headaches, Craig's humour and easy-going manner carried him through three years more than his life expectancy. From the time of diagnosis, he began to live the moment, striving to overcome his affliction. Written by his mother, the story highlights her own sentiments, as she relates her long walk with her son and how she and her husband nursed him through the final months of his life.
