I am a St. Jude cancer survivor and my story helped create this book. I think this book will help others find their “CAN” in cancer.

Ben (age 11)

This book would be great for explaining what I am going through to my friends and classmates. I am the “CAN” in cancer…

Eli (age 8)

I am being treated for leukemia at Children’s in Omaha, Nebraska. This book helped me to see that there really is a “CAN” in cancer. It also helped my family and friends understand what having cancer is really like!
