INDIANAPOLIS, May 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ In celebration of National Brain Cancer Awareness Month, Beyond Words: Becky and Steve Schenck's Inspiring Story of Faith, Hope and Love in the Face of Terminal Brain Cancer (ISBN 978-1-939550-42-2, www.beyondwordsbook.com) offers a practical resource for individuals and families when they hear the words, "You have terminal cancer."

The book deals with some of the critical issues facing those diagnosed with terminal cancer, such as:

  • Making early decisions about the course of treatment within the first three to four weeks following a cancer diagnosis
  • Exploring opportunities to participate in clinical trials and the hope they represent
  • Investigating outside financial resources that are available for cancer patients
  • Understanding the important role and responsibilities of the caregiver

Beyond Words also shares the Schencks' journey, as Becky lived an amazing 10 years beyond her glioblastoma multiforme diagnosis and initial 12-15-month prognosis. The book was released in September 2016, shortly after Becky's death, and currently is listed first in an Amazon search for brain cancer books or terminal brain cancer. It is available in paperback at Amazon ($12) and as an eBook on Amazon (Kindle), Barnes and Noble (Nook) and Google (Google Play Books).
