Summary of Brad Aronson's Humankind
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The diagnosis was leukemia, and the treatment was two and a half years of inpatient chemotherapy followed by nine months of outpatient chemo. My wife would probably feel awful during and after the treatment, but I was determined not to blow it. #2 Mia’s friend Meg came by almost every week, bringing lunch and crafts for the two of them. Mia was craving processed cheese products as a side effect of her chemo, and her parents came to help her out with that. #3 The response to our family’s situation was overwhelming. We received so much support that I was hesitant to mention any of it here, because I would have to leave out far more than I could include. #4 The people in our lives took an no-stone-unturned approach to our situation, anticipating every possible need of body and soul. We were able to get through the ordeal because of it.
