Author: Dr Cecil Todes

Diagnosed at the age of just 39, Dr Cecil Todes spent almost 20 years in his determined search for ‘a cure’, trying along the way most of the available treatments – and even going so far as to have the controversial foetal cell brain transplant. His fascinating story tells us much about Parkinson’s – and not just from a medical angle. Over the years, Cecil learned to live with what he described as the “emotional roller coaster” of Parkinson’s, and discovered coping strategies that worked for him and his family.

We strongly believe that Shadow Over My Brain is a book that will truly inspire and energise you.

An extract from the Foreword by Dr Oliver Sacks:

"One has…a feeling of courage and resource, a feeling of a man not merely coping with, but transcending his condition; and of a man who has been driven to experience life, and think about it more deeply than most of us do, precisely because he has had to contend with illness…

…The final note of this book…[is] one of affirmation, and even celebration, at man’s capacity to lead the fullest life, to make the most of life, to live creatively, defiantly and even triumphantly, even in the face of irremediable adversity."
