Our Daddy's Cancer, How We Helped Him Fight: Second Edition:

by Morgan Crews, Dylan Crews, Dana-Susan Crews

Overview

A diagnosis with cancer not only affects the patient, but the entire family. When Bill Crews was diagnosed with stage four lymphoma in October 2003, his two young children were frightened, yet filled with courage beyond their years. Faced with the devastation of cancer and chemotherapy, they learned to fight their fears and help their daddy win his battle against non-Hodgkin lymphoma. During the many agonizing months of treatments, their mom wrote down their precious words and deeds. This story is a very honest look into the difficulties of cancer through the eyes of children. Thousands of men, women, and children suffer at the cruel hands of cancer every year. It is the hope of the Crews family that the story of their children, Morgan and Dylan, will encourage people to courageously fight.

This second edition features new artwork and updates about the authors and their dad.

Editorial Reviews

We read this book as a family to help our two young children understand my husband's cancer diagnosis and treatment. It helped them cope with the confusion and fear of having a sick parent as well as introduced some medical terms. Written from the perspective of a child, this is a beautiful story that left our whole family feeling empowered to battle an intimidating disease.

Caregiver and Mom - Rhonda Jacobs

I think this book is unique in its approach and loved reading it. It is inspirational for anyone who loves a child and it looks at cancer care through a child's eyes. It also gives adults some good ideas about how to tell a child that a parent has cancer.

The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center - Dr. Fredrick Hagemeister

This is an inspiring book written from the awesome perspective of two small children by their mother who is the wonderful caregiver of a blood cancer survivor. The entire family lives the life of love and compassion and just wants to share their story with other parents struggling with cancer.
