The Amazing Cancer Kid by Jonathan Chamberlain
This is the incredible (amazing wonderful ) story of Connah Broom who has lived with 'terminal cancer' for the last seven years. The doctors couldn't cure him and after two courses of chemotherapy he was sent home. That was seven years ago. At that time he had eleven tumours in his body. The doctors expected him to die but today Connah is not only alive and well, he is robustly healthy. He loves to dance and play football.But he still has cancer. He still has one tumour. The battle goes on. How did this happen? How has Connah gone from having eleven tumours to just one? That's what this book is about. This is also the story of two amazing grandparents, Jim and Debbie. Without their stubborn persistence Connah wouldn't be here today. This book is about the power of love and total commitment in the face of cancer. Every kid, and every parent, should read this book. It is important.
