skigirl1689 's review for:
The End of Your Life Book Club
by Will Schwalbe
I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to the discussion 0f the books Schwalbe and his mom read during the two years his mom underwent treatment for stage IV pancreatic cancer. The cancer journey with his mom really hit home, and for this reason, I really hesitated picking this up less than two months after my family lost a second loved one to pancreatic cancer in a span of less than eight years. We had about a year post-diagnosis with the first family member but only 50 days with the second.
Anyone who has been through such a devastating diagnosis and loss knows it is never expected. It was heartening to read how Schwalbe's family dealt with it, how his mom faced it. The toughest thing with stage IV pancreatic cancer is knowing it is terminal and time is short. Schwalbe's mom is an excellent example of how to make the most of your life even in the face of terminal cancer.
