Parents must juggle treatment responsibilities; siblings must share in the sacrifice of normalcy, and the financial drain can be as emotionally daunting as the cancer battle. This uncertain world of battling cancer forces a certain gravitas upon each child warrior. Questions of mortality, significant friendships, a meaningful life, and leaving a legacy are all brought to the forefront of their minds. With some cancers, children are forced to decide about surgeries involving amputations or whether they will be able to have a family of their own. Defending their childlike wonder and innocence in the midst of this uncertainty becomes an uphill struggle for battle-weary parents. Hope can seem far away.Like a dear friend, Childhood Cancer Portraits is always going to be available to you at a moment's notice. It will help give perspective, brighten your path, and lighten your load. Be encouraged. There are no expectations to read the book from cover to cover in one sitting or even in a week. Childhood Cancer Portraits may be read front to back, back to front, or piecemeal. The choice is yours. -Excerpt from the Introductio |
