Synopsis

One hour your child is fine, the next you begin the fight for his life. This riveting, true narrative of heart-wrenching events shares the terrifying experiences of parents saving their son’s life from an aggressive brain tumor. Not only was the tumor itself life-threatening, but ordinary hospital procedures put their child in extreme danger. The reality is that this could happen to any family. The author’s experiences working within the medical system highlight important ways to deal with issues and unexpected problems that arise during medical treatments. Often major medical decisions must be made in a very short period of time. Doctors, nurses, and hospital staff are all human and susceptible to making mistakes, which can have serious consequences. This is an easy read and inspirational, with strong notations on how to navigate the complex medical landscape and emotional turmoil that accompanies a cancer diagnosis. —Diane Stearns Lead, Hematology Oncology Nurse Practitioner Norris Cotton Cancer Center Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center In this heartfelt tale of her family’s battle against childhood cancer, Parker details the myriad trials and emotions experienced by pediatric oncology patients and those closest to them. In addition to sharing their personal struggles, the bits of advice she gives along the way emphasize how vital it is to advocate for one’s child and to seek out the best caregivers and treatments possible. —Kelsey Hamilton O’Brien, M.D. Pediatrician Little Rock, Arkansas
