| Synopsis: |
Cancer - even the word is scary. For those who have been diagnosed with cancer, or with other serious diseases such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, or diabetes, and for their families, the world can suddenly be frightening, confusing, and unpredictable. When such a diagnosis is given, however, an entire team of people springs into action; doctors, nurses, social workers, and others all step in to do everything they can to help make sure that person survives, and not simply survives the disease but goes on to become a healthy and thriving individual. In this book, you will read the stories of courageous young people who have faced cancer and other diseases. They have had to give up things they truly enjoyed. They have had to endure invasive tests, chemotherapy, and surgeries. Their lives have been changed forever, but, on the whole, they feel they have become better people as they have battled to overcome their disease. For all of them, coming so close to death has changed the way they look at life. You can learn from their experiences as well, and even if you never go through anything similar, the things they have learned can help you deal with the issues you face in your own life. |
