2. We thought it was just the flu, now you say cancer.
I want a second opinion, Meggie.
3. What now, doctor?
My name is Carrie. I have cancer, too.
5. I've got to go to the hospital? But, I don't want to !
We'll getslots of them at the hospital.
Greetings,everyone!
1. Specifically leukemia. I'm so sorry, Dawn.
4. Go home, pack some things for Dawn. They'll be waiting for her at the hospital.
You know I try my best not to hurt you, Dawn.
Oh, sweetie.
When Dawn Rochelle was thirteen years old, the doctors diagnosed her with cancer.
Her parents nervously pack before they go to the hospital, and Dawn watches solemnly.
Honey, you have a fever. You could have an infection.
Dawn!
Dawn is extremely scared, but makes friends with her new roomate, Sandy. She still hates needles, though.
Will she be okay?
However, Dawn soon discovers that there are more kids on the cancer floor. She spends a lot of her time in the play room with Sandy.
One day, Dawn has a fever. This could mean infection. The doctors are worried.
They move her to the ICU for more careful monitoring. She has a big infection, and her weakened cells can't fight it off. Who knows what will happen next. . .
