  This is a mother's true story of her seven-year-old son who was diagnosed as having leukemia and who, 20 months later, one of the unlucky 5%, died. This book provides a frank account of how the family, and indeed, Jimmy coped with the anguish of treatment, illness, pain and eventual mortal relapse. The book makes painful but heart-warming reading. CancerCare, an organization run by doctors and volunteers to support cancer sufferers and their families, is using this book as a training manual for carers.
