We Beat Leukaemia Melody Berthoud

My son Andrew was only three years old when he was diagnosed with Leukaemia. Now he's a healthy, happy six-year-old. We Beat Leukemia is my honest account of chemo, childhood and being a mummy to cancer - written over 1235 days from diagnosis to remission.



I started writing daily posts to record the highs and lows, frustrations and elations of his childhood cancer treatment. My posts and photos form this book. I'm sharing my family's experience to raise awareness of childhood cancer (and the UK charities who can offer so much), but also to offer support to families facing the challenges that any child cancer diagnosis brings. I hope to make a difference in the cancer community through donating proceeds to the charity Bloodwise.
