Product Description
by Peggy Timm (Author), Ladonna Czachowski (Foreword by)
Childhood Cancer: One Family's Journey Through the Storm is a non-fiction book written by a mom, Peggy Timm, whose 20-month-old daughter, Alicia, was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness--neuroblastoma. In Alicia's case, a large tumor surrounded her heart. The book is designed to give parents in a similar situation a sense of what they might face, offer them hope, and assure them they are not alone on this journey. The book addresses a myriad of issues, including: understanding a diagnosis--the medical terms as well as what it might mean for your child--how to move forward after the diagnosis, the impact on siblings, the importance of support from family, friends, and the community, faith, children who lose the battle, and when hopelessness turns into hope.
