| Synopsis: |
At nineteen years of age SAMANTHA MILES was diagnosed with acute leukaemia and faced an immediate start to intensive and shockingly intrusive treatment. One minute a student sitting an exam, the next in hospital confronting a life-threatening illness. This book is her very frank and personal account of what she had to go through to get back her life. In a down-to-earth, almost objective style she reveals her feelings toward her disease, chemotherapy and bone marrow transplant. She describes the highs and lows of her physical and mental condition and the reader emerges at the end, like her, exhausted but triumphant. Samantha's story creates an awareness of leukaemia, its effect on young people and their families as well as emphasising the need for increased community information. An honest and powerful book of vital interest not only to those in similar situations but also to those who will admire the courage and strength of the author. |
