By Mark Unger

Sexual content:"It's fair to say there is a rampant, hidden sexism in the medical world and within it a whole world of gate keepers." page 39

Typos and unintentional grammar errors : I have not detected punctuational errors.

Honest review : First Survivor : The Impossible Childhood Cancer Breakthrough is a book which detailed Lou's numerous challenges in his fight against cancer. The course of treatment was difficult. The challenges affected Lou personally as well as him and his family. The length of treatment, the phases of treating the illness, and daily observation were all part of his course of care. Charts, records, and day to day progress tracking in certain processes they have taken several hours to complete. Resilience and a never - ending pursuit of the belief that recovery was a goal to be met and it is achievable. The sickness had a significant impact on Lou's life. While making an effort to keep the relapses and healing consistent to be done effectively. This made it more difficult for Lou to manage his challenges with maintaining his wellness to lead a regular, fulfilling life. The summaries of Lou's letters were detailed with dates that he wrote to express his feelings and update the reader on his medical progress while receiving treatment in the hospital which are appealing and intriguing to me. Finally, Lou was cured following a protracted journey filled with hardship, patience, and trials. It was believed that his chances of surviving cancer were extremely low. The three - year - old boy went through a lot while growing up. He did, however have the opportunity to lead a more contented and joyful life. One with reduced suffering, issues, and tension. In the process there was a supportive team which was essential for the healing to be done. Lou's support system included his family and the medical staff as he worked toward recovery. A individual fighting illness wants to be fully cured. That is their ultimate goal. However, being said nonetheless, certain illnesses remain incurable. Although, they can be controlled which will make them fairly easier to deal with overall.

Book Rating: Excellent! 5 out of 5 stars! The book is a good read. It is well - written.
