Janice Post-White

Standing at Water's Edge

A Cancer Nurse, Her Four-Year-Old Son and the Shifting Tides of Leukemia

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Janice Post-White was an oncology nurse who thought she knew what life with cancer was about--until her four-year-old son was diagnosed with leukemia. While he drew pictures to process his emotions, she buried her feelings and threw herself into managing a dual role as a medical professional and mother. Her memoir shares her son's perspective as a young cancer patient and teen survivor, and explores her own personal and professional insights on survivorship, resilience, healing and what facing death can teach us about living.
