Bukowsky Claire Snyman’s "Two Steps Forward" is a candid account of what led her to undergo brain surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. She describes her visits to various physicians in Vancouver, British Columbia, where she lives with her husband, Marchand, and young son, Aiden; the CT Scans, MRIs, and other tests she took to enable her doctors to diagnose her condition and decide on a treatment plan; the surgery in August 2012; and her slow recovery that, for a year, left her exhausted and unable to perform many routine tasks. In the preface, Claire’s neurosurgeon, Dr. Alfredo Quiñones-Hinojosa, explains that he operated on Claire to remove “a [colloid] cyst that was obstructing the flow of fluids in her brain.” In this book, Claire shares her feelings and experiences in an attempt, not only to come to terms with her ordeal, but also to assist others who may be similarly afflicted.In May 2010, Claire Snyman was alarmed by symptoms that left her reeling: vertigo, extreme lethargy, severe headaches, and nausea. She was not able to go to work or take her child to preschool. Fortunately, Claire’s devoted husband pitched in, as he would on many future occasions. Since Claire’s doctors in Canada did not inspire her with complete confidence, she did her homework and consulted Dr. Quiñones-Hinojosa. He may have saved her life when her noticed that her cyst had grown and had to be removed as soon as possible.The author tells us what she has learned: “Be your own advocate and listen to your own body”; keep a journal; prepare a list of questions prior to your medical appointments; take advantage of whatever support systems are available; be grateful for your blessings, no matter how minor they may seem; and have reasonable expectations while you are recuperating from surgery. Most people do not bounce back quickly, and it is unrealistic to expect too much too soon. Claire is not a professional writer and “Two Steps Forward,” although heartfelt and sincere, has its share of awkward and repetitious passages. Still, Snyman’s strength of character, as well as her honesty, intelligence, and compassion, earn our admiration. In addition, her practical advice can help individuals with neurological disorders, as well as their caregivers, to face adversity armed with practical strategies.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A book for many audiences! By Charles Hotel Good book reviews usually have phrases like ‘page turner’ associated with them. This was not a page turner for me but Claire Snyman has written a great book! The reason it was not a page turner for me was because I too have had a brain tumour and had brain surgery in early 2015. I have experienced much of what Claire experienced and as a result, there were many moments where I had to put the book down and reflect on my own experiences. Claire’s words brought me great comfort and I highly recommend it for anyone with similar experiences.With that said, it is not just a book for those that have experienced a brain tumour. It is also a book for the caregivers of those with brain tumours as it provides great insight into what is being experienced by those under care.Finally, it is also a book for general consumption as it provides an incredible story of inspiration and resiliency, something for which everyone can benefit. Well done Claire; thank you for sharing your story and turning an extremely difficult chapter of your life into what will be a lasting legacy!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. it was like living my own journey all over again By Deb McCreight As a fellow survivor of the same type of brain tumor, I can't thank Claire enough for writing this book. Reading her story as she forged her way through obscure hard-to-explain symptoms, misdiagnosis, relief when she finally found someone with answers, surgery, more surgery, the effects on her family and herself, it was like living my own journey all over again. Her words evoked a whole host of emotions, but more than anything I found myself saying over and over "yes, that's it exactly"! Claire also included key things she learned through her experience, not only for herself as the patient, but also for caregivers and family members. This is an interesting, well-written book I would recommend highly for anyone who enjoys reading. If you or someone you know have experience with a life-threatening illness or condition, particularly any type of brain tumor, it should be on your "must read" list! I can't thank Claire enough for sharing her story - I wish it had been available 20 years ago!
