Our Family's Journey Through Disability and Cancer: Down Syndrome and Teenage Cancer - Honest and Insightful Experience

Janet started writing 'Our Family's Journey Through Disability and Cancer' 3 months after her oldest daughter Kirsty completed her chemotherapy for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. Kirsty was only 15 years old when she was diagnosed. Kirsty also has Down Syndrome.This book will take you through the many experiences this family has been through from the time Kirsty was born. The journey hasn't always been a smooth one , especially during the years Kirsty was being treated for leukaemia. It is a book that will benefit doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, psychologists and support workers involved in caring for families who have a disabled child or a child going through treatment for cancer, as well as families going through challenging times. 'Janet offers lots of practical advice, tempered with warmth and an understanding of the emotions of being a parent of a child who has Down's syndrome.' - The Down Syndrome Association UK 'I think this is an inspiring book, a celebration of Kirsty's spirit and her sibling and parents' love and resilience. It is realistic about the toll treatment took on them all and on Kirsty herself, but is honest, hopeful and I think will be helpful and inspiring to other families in a similar situation.' - CLIC Sargent Cancer Charity UK www.listentomythoughts.com Facebook: listen2mythoughts Twitter: @JH_blogger and @ChelliahJanet
