Opis

In 1991, Phan, an engineer, was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease at the early age of 39. Here he movingly chronicles the physical and emotional effects the disease has had on his life since the early diagnosis. He briefly discusses Parkinson's medical and surgical treatment, and research progress, but the strength of the book is the account of his personal struggle with disease, as its progressive effects on his body is vividly detailed. Phan's realistic acceptance and resistance to limitations, as well as his appreciation of life, in spite of disability, is inspiring. Phan offers a wonderful view for patients and families.
