This site is specifically set up to impart knowledge and hope to
Greek-speaking brain tumor sufferers and their families. Here, you will find an ebook offered for free download. It
contains many inspiring stories of long-time brain tumor survivors, which are
taken from Dr. Al Musella's site with his kind permission.

We are thankful and grateful to Dr. Musella and to all those wonderful people
who had the generosity and the courage to make public their informative and
encouraging medical histories. These stories have been translated into Greek by
Maria Seferou, a writer of non-fiction books. The photos of the survivors have
been purposely omitted from the Greek ebook, as the reader can easily view them
by visiting the original site of Dr. Al Musella that is quoted above.
This free ebook also contains extracts from
"A Unified Theory
on the Development of Gliomas" by Dr. Patrick J. Kelly, MD, FACS,
Professor and Chairman, Department of Neurological Surgery, N.Y. University
Medical Center.

translate and quote sections of his simplified theory in this ebook.
