A book about the parents documenting the progression of their son having cancer and dealing with endless hospital visits and treatment. I like how the parents weren't intimidated by the doctors' titles and white coats when fighting for their child's new treatment. Parents with hospitalised children will find comfort and informations needed in this book. I dont know have a child but a book like this will come in handy should anything happen to my family.

Looks like an inspiring novel that can be a great help to the readers who are going through a similar situation to navigate through life. As a parent who had to endure their newborn facing quite a similar life endangering disease and having lost the baby, this story resonates with me. So, I don't think I'll be able to read this book immediately for I have to wait till my own wounds have healed. But I'm sure I'll be able to and I would like to read this book at a later date.

First Survivor: Author Mark Unger's book, Impossible Childhood Cancer Breakthrough, is a non-fiction genre about his son, Louis, battling neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive childhood cancer. The story will be about Louis, who was diagnosed when he was only 3, and doctors gave him a poor prognosis.

I cannot imagine how the parents must have been devastated when Louis was diagnosed with the rare disease condition (Legg Calve Perthes).
