Against All Odds: Choosing Hope

#007 - Your son has just been diagnosed with a rare form of childhood cancer, and you feel lost and defeated.  Well, that's what John, an English professor in New Hampshire, discusses in this episode. With the help of his 'tribe' and family, he chooses hope. Because of his choice, his son is now in remission, and John has learned not to pay attention to statistics. He also offers some advice and support for parents of newly diagnosed children as they enter the world of pediatric oncology.

This episode conveys to parents or caregivers a sense of security in going against their initial fears and choosing hope. While hope does not mean everyone will be like Henry and survive, it does give your child the basic fundamental need from a caregiver, positive reinforcement throughout their journey.
