Such an important book to read as a person with multiple disabilities. I finally feel like I understand my life now and how to deal with the massive changes as they occur
“Diagnosed” by Brenda Snow is a patient’s journey with Multiple Sclerosis, that’s full of compassion, practical advice, and empathetic guidance.
Going through the stages of pre-diagnosis and diagnosis, culminating into acceptance and rebuilding has implemented a stepwise, motivational yet realistic approach.
This book is a valuable reference for patients, their caregivers and their loved ones.
Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the e-ARC.
I received a free copy of, Diagnosed, by Brenda Snow, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This book goes over the stages of grief, and her personal diagnosis. This would be a good book for anyone getting a new diagnosis.
Great for those who need confidence and support after a diagnosis - this will be perfect for you.
An all round great read, however formatting on my e-book version did not look the best. Whether it is different in the hardcover, I am not sure. I do however love the motivation given in=between certain topics, my favourite being (on page 121 of the e-book) 'Engage in activities that remind you you're more than just a sick person'. This is a really key quote which I am sure will resonate with readers of the book across the globe.
I would recommend this book to family members, some of whom are struggling after their diagnosis's. A tough topic to handle, yet handled brilliantly by Brenda Snow.
4 stars.
