First Survivor: The Impossible Childhood Cancer Breakthrough by Mark Unger is an extraordinary first-hand account of a father's journey as his son undergoes a terrifying battle with cancer that results in a miraculous cure. Unger describes the pain he and his wife experienced and their determination to find a cure for this devastating disease.

Unger delves into the course of treatment his son underwent, the different experts they consulted, and how they persevered to achieve what was once thought impossible: curing leukemia. Years after the ordeal, Unger interviews his son's doctors and revisits the notes he took during his son's battle with cancer. These notes, originally a coping mechanism, are transformed into an intricate and exceptional story that also serves as a testament to frontline and pioneering medical professionals.

The best aspect of First Survivor is how informative it is while also being a moving story. Unger describes all the procedures, medications, and facilities he visited during the years of his son's cancer treatment. Unger also advises parents who are advocating for their child or navigating a severe illness. Unger's book serves as a guide for those who are feeling lost and hopeless when they or their loved ones are faced with a diagnosis. First Survivor: The Impossible Childhood Cancer Breakthrough has no grammar mistakes and is perfectly written and revised. I have no constructive criticism for First Survivor.

In conclusion, I give Mark Unger's First Survivor: The Impossible Childhood Cancer Breakthrough 5 out of 5 stars for its excellent, awe-inspiring story of a family's love, compassion, and determination and the profound impact it had on the medical field, making it not only beautiful to read but also very informative and useful. I highly recommend Mark Unger's book to anyone struggling with their illness or that of a family member. First Survivor provides much-needed hope, clarity, and direction.
