"War Reporter's Reflection on Glioblastoma in 'Waiting for the Monsoon'"

Rod Nordland, a former war correspondent, faced numerous life-threatening situations in conflict zones before being diagnosed with glioblastoma, a terminal brain cancer, in 2019. Despite the grim prognosis, Nordland remains optimistic and actively engages in treatment, including low-dose chemo and using a device called Optune. His mobility is affected by the side effects of the treatments, but he reflects on the lessons learned from his experiences and shares his journey in his new memoir, "Waiting for the Monsoon."
