AND FINALLY - HENRY MARSH KARTONIERT (TB)

As a neurosurgeon  I lived in a world filled with fear and suffering  death and cancer. But
rarely  if ever  did I think about what it would be like if what I witnessed at work every day
happened to me. This book is the story of how I became a patient myself. As a retired brain
surgeon  Henry Marsh thought he understood illness  but he was unprepared for the impact of his
diagnosis of advanced cancer. And Finally explores what happens when someone who has spent a
lifetime on the frontline of life and death finds himself contemplating what might be his own
death sentence. As he navigates the bewildering transition from doctor to patient  he is
haunted by past failures and projects yet to be completed  and frustrated by the inconveniences
of illness and old age. But he is also more entranced than ever by the mysteries of science and
the brain  the beauty of the natural world and his love for his family. Elegiac  candid 
luminous and poignant  And Finally is ultimately not so much a book about death  but a book
about life and what matters in the end.
