This Battle Which I Must Fight
Cancer in Canada's Children and Teenagers


Comments

"This promises to be one of the best references a family would need. It goes a long way towards dispelling the myths that so often surround childhood cancer. This book gives a human face to this disease and allows a glimpse into the lives of these children and their families. It will help parents to know they are not alone."

Christine M. Wandzura

Bereaved parent of a child with cancer
President Elect, Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation Canada
Program Administrator, Kid's Cancer Camps of Alberta

"Excellent; some of it was new to me - actually a lot of it was new to me - I was probably told, but it must have been during those forgotten six months."

"The book covers a great deal of important material, and is written very clearly for both medical and non-medical audiences. It is a gem!"

Deputy Director, Member and Chairman, Department of Hematology/Oncology

-------

"An excellent job in bringing together this material and putting it into a format which I believe does answer the necessity for scientific rigor yet makes the material readable for the audience for which it is required."

Dr. Anthony B. Miller
Toronto, Ontario
Chairman, Department of Preventive Medicine and Biostatistics
Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto

-------

"This book answers questions that children and parents don't usually have in mind or are afraid to ask at the beginning of the illness."

Lorraine Beaudoin

-------

"It is an excellent means of driving some of the fear out of cancer and turning it into an illness where there is hope of a cure."
