In the tradition of My Stroke of Insight and Brain on Fire, this powerful memoir recounts Barbara Lipska's deadly brain cancer and explains its unforgettable lessons about the brain and mind. Neuroscientist Lipska was diagnosed early in 2015 with metastatic melanoma in her brain's frontal lobe. As the cancer progressed and was treated, she experienced behavioral and cognitive symptoms connected to a range of mental disorders, including dementia and her professional specialty, schizophrenia. Lipska's family and associates were alarmed by the changes in her behavior, which she failed to acknowledge herself.

Gradually, after a course of immunotherapy, Lipska returned to normal functioning, amazingly recalled her experience, and through her knowledge of neuroscience identified the ways in which her brain changed during treatment. Lipska admits her condition was unusual; after recovery she was able to return to her research and resume her athletic training and compete in a triathalon. Most patients with similar brain cancers rarely survive to describe their ordeal. Lipska's memoir, coauthored with journalist Elaine McArdle, shows that strength and courage but also an encouraging support network are vital to recovery.

HER SON HAS BRAIN CANCER, BUT SHE HAS NEVER BEEN HAPPIER.Instead of going to war, she chose to redefine her narratives about cancer and forgive it in order to win the fight and heal the soul. The author’s and her family’s life turned upside down when they found out about her son’s diagnosis. The pandemic COVID-19 broke out at the same time when Max was undergoing brain surgeries. After Max’s three brain surgeries, doctors announced that his hands would be permanently disabled; instead of giving up, Max was trying to move his arms every day. Today, Max can draw with both his left hand and right.

This champion is ready to soar high, and only the sky is the limit. This is an inspiring story about the most challenging mindset shift the author of the book has ever had to make in order to win this fight, letting cancer heal her life. It is not about struggling with it, suffering from it, breaking under the burden of it. It is about dealing with it and forgiving it. Despite her son’s brain cancer diagnosis and surgeries had turned her and her family’s life upside down, the book's author managed to maintain an aura of happiness, peace, and grace. She didn’t allow herself to be blindsided by fear, so she decided to go to the other side of that terror, standing on firm ground. Shirley turned negative emotions into forces of energy that empowered her to become as spiritually supportive as possible and keep a positive attitude. Life is a journey; it ebbs and flows. Cancer contains opportunities for transformation and actions to expand higher and brighter and communicate with our spirit and soul about how to live our lives. The author is deeply convinced that it is possible to awaken soul beyond cancer and forgive cancer.
