I recommend this very interesting book that, among other things, decribes the difference between real hope and fake optimism when a person is seriously ill. Written by an oncologist who often writes for the New Yorker magazine, from his professional and personal experience.

The stories are wonderful. I was a little bogged down with all the testing if there is hope. I would suggest this book if you are a cancer patient and a caregiver. It is a wonderful read to give you hope again or more hope of a cure.
