Why It Matters
Resources made for this specifically are different in a way that matters. They assume treatment is ongoing rather than finite. They take quality of life seriously as its own subject rather than a footnote to recovery. And they address the questions that come up over years, not just in the first frightening month.
A reference organized by question suits that too. Needs change, and what you want to know in month two is not what you want to know in year three. Being able to look up one thing, put it down, and come back later is more useful than a book that expects to be read once.
It also gives the people around you a way to understand what is happening without asking you to explain it again.
