Life's Mountains by Cheryl Broyles

Description

Life's Mountains climbs with Cheryl Broyles to the summit of California's Mount Shasta and through the trial of “terminal” brain cancer. Told she had only a year to live, Cheryl did everything she could to stay alive. Four years later, still breathing, she and her husband Matt planned to climb Mount Shasta to celebrate her survivorship. Cheryl describes the similarity between climbing mountain trails and living through life's trials. She gives hope for reaching each peak, seeing life anew and loving each day through the good and bad times.

“There have been a number of books written by brain tumor survivors and former caregivers but this is one of the best and I would recommend it for any person newly diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor such as a glioblastoma. Cheryl’s book provides plenty of hope and inspiration.”
Denis Strangman – Chairman, International Brain Tumor Alliance
