Summary

Brennan Simkins was diagnosed with a rare subtype of leukemia on his 7th birthday. The next four years gave witness to one of the most improbable and exciting stories in this history of modern cancer. Unwilling to accept a hopelessly terminal diagnosis, his parents found the one researcher willing to design a new treatment protocol to keep him alive until a new cure could be identified and tried. This brutal yet beautiful story elegantly chronicles the innocent gracefulness and indefatigability of will that inspired Brennan's doctors and transformed the hearts of people around the world. Possibilities is a beautifully written, real life drama about the fighting spirit of one little boy who loved life, his brothers and was unwilling to give up. It has changed lives and turned the world of conventional cancer treatment upside down
