I hope that the end of life care processes have changed for the better since Janet and Stan's experience in the late nineties. Some of the hoops they had to jump through were just flat out ridiculous. That being said, this memoir is touching, gripping, and much needed to educate us all about cancer and the end of life. I saw some similarities between what I understood of my grandmother's passing (fortunately the only relative that I've been close enough and aware enough to know what's going on) and what happened with Janet.
Even though it's a tough subject, we all will be witnesses and participants in this phase of life. Better to educate ourselves and Mack does a nice job of sharing his and Janet's experience.

Touching and well-written. I'd fallen in love with Janet long before the end of the book, myself. What a touching memoir.
