Well, my friend suggested me this book.
Just a few minutes in, I was about to leave the book because it was a lot to take in. With the history of a family member dying with cancer, I don't think I can read the book

At first, I dreaded reading this book; I did not want to read a sad story. But the book is about survival and fighting the odds. Yes, one can't help feel emotional but it also offers a glimpse into the healthcare system and the health practitioners. They are also our heroes, most of the time, even when they are trying their best, they are bound to make errors or to miss something.

I very much agree with you. It would take a brave reader to get to the end of the story. However the suspense and style of writing was really creative and displayed the skill and talent of the author. I comment the author of this book for that.

Yes. One definitely needs to be a brave reader to read this story. The struggles of a mother is really hard to reel in. Her belief that something was wrong proved to be right. But doctors are not always wrong. In her case, they were wrong. Do believe your doctors but also believe your gut feeling too.

I was impressed with the amount of notes and information the author took down related to cancer. It made the whole situation more real for me.

The key highlights would be
1) the way the family did not give up.( the kid included )
2) Mark never stopped researching and looking out for windows for
3) making notes and asking questions, participating at every step of the treatment.
4) engaging with the doctors and staff and kept him self up to fate of the day to day progress.
5) when the staff knows you are alert, they are forced to, too
6) engaging with insurance agent, else the whole process would have failed.

This book was a true roller-coaster ride. I can only imagine the turmoil that the entire Unger family must have gone through. However, I also truly appreciate how bravely and relentlessly they faced this devastating challenge!

I wanted to read this book for a while, but I also understood that this would be an extremely emotional read because of the nature of the topic. It was heartrending but worth reading.
