A very useful book for parents of children with cancer  4 Stars
August 19, 2002
When our son was diagnosed with leukemia we were given a copy of this book. We have read the book from cover to cover and found it to be very useful. It is a book for parents who have children with cancer. The book is very helpful and easy to read. It gives you just enough detail about childhood cancers, treatments, etc., without weighing you down. If you have a child with cancer I suggest you purchase the book.
