In 2008, after recovering from a few years of hard drinking alcohol and harder medication use, after building online backup a life as a successful and happy New York article writer, Eva Hagberg woke up dizzy. She spent the next five years looking for a medical diagnosis, a treatment, and the majority of all an answer. It had been a journey that required her from a job as a fresh York City architecture critic to a bicycle-riding year in Portland, Oregon to graduate school in Berkeley, California. She found internists, vestibular specialists, and endocrinologists. Each of them informed her she was normal; that just how she felt was all in her mind. When everything she thought she could try failed, she began to trust them, endeavoring to heal through pilates, acupuncture, talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and long strolls in the woods. In February 2013, an MRI disclosed a mass in her brain. A bloodstream test revealed an increased tumor marker: A sign of cancer. And that's when the next journey started out - one grounded in physiology, in continuously rising marker figures, and in the brutal invasion of any brain biopsy. And yet, there was uncertainty. And yet, there was the insistent voice that informed her she was making this all up. It had been definitely all in her mind. But how? An amazing personal narrative of the problem of medical care for women, the terror of early-onset brain disease, and the energy of love. A haunting, beautiful memoir.
