Make sure it's an easy read meaning the reader doesn't have to think deeply. Chemo makes people very tired... I am not sure I would have liked this type of book during chemo but that's just me.
I agree re: easy reads. Two books I enjoyed were Gone Girl and The Goldfinch. I would look for an entertaining rather than an enlightening book.
Ty... is there anything else U could recommend I do as a caregiver..

I just finished reading The new book by Mark Herzlich. He plays for the NY Giants and has a remarkable and inspiring story about his experience with Ewing Sarcoma. When my husband was fighting his SS, we found several interviews with Mark, on line, and it gave us hope. I found this book to be very inspiring, and not just from the sarcoma side, but from the life side. It’s. Not a hard read, and it might be validating and inspiring to read while undergoing treatment.
