All in My Head

How do you remain positive when you have only fourteen months to live? All In My Head is a memoir by a woman who received a life-shattering diagnosis in her early fifties, and her search for reasons to stay positive. 'Written in a voice that is loud, defiant and beautiful, and that demands to be heard . . . a joyful, stubborn, rambunctious fight'Nicci Gerrard, ObserverIn her early fifties, Jessica Morris was told she had glioblastoma (GBM), a particularly aggressive and difficult-to-treat form of brain cancer. All In My Head is her brilliant, brave and inspiring riposte. Jessica began a determined search for effective treatment as she continued to live her life, love her family and campaign for better research into GBM, connecting with patients all over the world. And finally, she came to terms with the knowledge that she had reached the end of the road. All In My Head is much more than a book about GBM. It takes the reader into the life of a woman who when confronted by devastating news chooses to be strong. It is about fighting adversity with hope and finding reasons to be positive in the darkest moments.
