The Fruit of Hope

A free ebook in Greek
 

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.

Many thanks to Dr. Kelly who kindly gave his permission to Maria Seferou to translate and quote sections of his simplified theory in this ebook.

Thanks also to Dr. Theodore I. King, II, Ph.D., University of Wisconsin, who allowed the use of his excellent picture of "Human Brain Anatomy - Medial View" in this free ebook.

The purpose of this ebook is to demystify brain tumors and to inspire hope through invaluable information as to how some patients fought and won the battle against the ugly disease, in spite of statistics and gloomy predictions.
