There are countless academic books on the subject of childhood
leukemia. The idea behind this book, however, is very different.
Here, we look at the extraordinary story of childhood leukemia from
very distinct and unique perspectives: a distinguished physician
who has lived through the transition of the disease from despair to
success (and who played a key role in the latter); a distinguished
laboratory scientist who has helped breach the barrenness of
biological ignorance of the disease to reveal its nature; a patient
who has been confronted with the tough realities of the illness and
has been cured; and parents who have been given the worst possible
news - that their child is diagnosed with leukemia - and who have
endured the prolonged treatment, hope, and despair or relief that
follows.These individuals recount their personal experiences,
challenges, and "interactions" with the disease in ways that
complement and contrast with each other. Thus, not only does the
book contain extraordinary stories involving the very best of
biomedical research and clinical advances, but it also embodies
very human tales of resilience, optimism and courage.
