"When Breath Becomes Air"
Book Group Discussion
When Breath Becomes Air, is a posthumously published autobiographical account of neurosurgeon Dr. Paul Kalanithi’s life after receiving a diagnosis of stage IV metastatic lung cancer at age 36.
It is a beautifully written, poignant account of the challenges of living with a terminal diagnosis, the difficulty of choosing treatment options in the face of uncertainty, and the limits of modern medical care.
Readers in this study group for those 50 and above will have the opportunity to reflect on and discuss issues presented in the book including the roles of family and care providers.
Instructor Sheryl Kurze will lead these 90 minute sessions on Tuesdays October 31 and November 7.
