Did you know there is a “CAN” in cancer?
Sure enough! Take a look at those first three letters — C. A. N. — and you’ll see it’s true!
Eli is a young boy who finds out that he has cancer. Not knowing how to feel, his doctor tells him
There is a ‘can’ in cancer, so when your life seems kinda rough,
breathe in and out and clear your head and think about better stuff.”
This creatively written book of hope follows Eli’s journey through the eyes of a patient, parents, siblings, teachers, health care providers, and friends. The “CAN” in Cancer is a must-read for anyone who knows a child who is currently undergoing treatment for cancer or who has a friend or family member with cancer.
