This is the compelling story of Alistair Foster, a pharmacist who, at 39 years of age, is told he has Parkinson's Disease. Jump aboard the rollercoaster ride that is Alistair's journey; from experiencing the initial symptoms, to being diagnosed, through his feelings of denial, anger and guilt, to a final acceptance. Written with a beautiful honesty cut through with a rich seam of humour, this book is an inspiration to anyone who has been diagnosed with Parkinson's, or any other serious illness. It is not only a story about coming to terms with having a disease, the bewildering complexities of the NHS, and the amusing world of the community pharmacist; it is also a story of relationships and, ultimately, love. Above all, it is a celebration of the human spirit and how, with the help of loved ones and friends, this spirit can triumph over whatever life may bring.
