★★★★★This guide is a genuine relief. When I got my diagnosis, I was completely lost and terrified — my doctor used so many big words I was too scared to ask him to repeat. This book breaks everything down in a way that finally makes sense. It doesn't sugarcoat, but it doesn't terrify you either. It honestly feels like a smart friend who just happens to have a medical degree. I've already passed it to my mum so she can stop panicking quietly.

★★★★★It's decent, and it has some genuinely helpful sections — the chapter on what to expect felt reassuring in a grounded way. That said, it was a lot more general than I'd hoped. Some parts made me feel like I was reading about a condition that wasn't quite mine, and I would've liked more specific details about the different treatment paths. Still, as a starting point to calm down and write down questions for my doctor, it did what it said on the tin.
