Prologue

Imagine that just as your marriage is breaking up ... your seven year old son is diagnosed as having a malignant brain tumour.

Now imagine that the doctors in charge of your son's treatment want him to have a risky and antiquated form of radiation treatment...rather than a more advanced and safer alternative.

This was the situation that faced Sally Roberts in 2012

This is the compelling story of a child's cancer diagnosis, treatment and recovery against the odds, and his mother's courage as an advocate for her son - and for better treatment for children with cancer.
