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.
