"First Survivor: The Impossible Childhood Cancer Breakthrough"
There can be no greater fear for a parent than the fear of a child's cancer diagnosis. Throughout this book, I was reminded how extraordinarily brave the entire Unger family were and are. There was no self-pity or recriminations and I commend all of them for the way they conducted themselves throughout their ordeal. Young Louis deserves many accolades in his life for his commitment and dedication to his recovery and well-being and I'd like to see a book one day from this very brave young man.

As I read the book, I was motivated and hopeful to see how the family discovered strengths and abilities they perhaps didn't know they had, and everything was achieved because they loved one another so much. What a life lesson!Lorna Philip Enslin wrote: ↑16 Oct 2023, 07:19 I applaud Mark Unger for his bravery in writing this book.
