Tammy Sharp
No parent should ever hear the words: “your child has cancer”. And yet, on March 21, 2001, that is exactly what we were told. Our daughter Kelly, who was not yet 13 years old, was diagnosed with advanced stage IV Neuroblastoma.
In the U.S. more than 8,000 children under age 15 are diagnosed with cancer every year: one out of every 630 individuals. This book tells the story of one of those children, through the eyes of her mother.
You will find this journey to be filled with laughter and tears. There is nothing more frightening to a child than knowing that their life could end soon. There is nothing more painful to a mother than to know that there is little she can do to ease the pain of her child who is suffering. What Kelly and I discovered together was that we had to find reasons to laugh, even on the most frightening of days. It was only through laughing that we found a way to manage the fear. Not just her fear, but mine as well.voir moins
