★★★★★I'm a caregiver for my wife, and this guide was genuinely useful. The chapter on what to say (and not say) was worth the price alone. I did find Chapter 1 a bit repetitive — I get that it's not my fault, but I heard it several times. Some sections could have been more detailed for someone like me who wants specifics. That said, the symptom table and the questions for doctors were practical and easily ripped out for appointments. Solid resource, not perfect, but it helped me feel less alone.

★★★★★As a patient, I appreciated the honest tone. The first chapter really calmed me down when I was in full panic mode after my diagnosis. The author doesn't sugarcoat things — no fake promises that everything will be fine — but also doesn't make you feel like you're doomed. I took off one star because I wanted more depth on the day-to-day lifestyle stuff, like travel and work. The caregiver chapter was good, though, and I passed it to my sister. Overall, a helpful, human guide that treats you like an adult.
