Synopsis

A contemporary take on terminal brain cancer, from a patient who outlived an eighteen month prognosis (October 2013). Mindy Elwell's three-year journey, as told to author JZ Bingham, chronicles a myriad of emotions, procedures, recoveries, and personal growth. Ms. Elwell's honesty is touching and endearing, with a healthy dose of wit, and never shies away from the importance of mental and spiritual growth, rooted in family and God. This unique book includes professional contributions: surgical notes describing intra-operative brain mapping, pathology reports, MRI analyses, scientific and dietary explanations of the Ketogenic Diet, as well as tips, food choices and menus. Defy & Conquer is invaluable for those touched with cancer, seeking solace, validation, and hope against a deadly disease.
