Whats Wrong with Mommy?: a Guide to Explaning Cancer to a Child Una Guide a Para Explaning Cancer a Un Nino Jameka Leonard

Publisher Marketing: My name is Jameka Leonard. I was diagnosed with brain cancer, a rare form in fact, a brainstem glioma. I was terrified, but luckily I was old enough to understand what was going on, because the word Cancer is scary. But I really felt sad for my daughter. My daughter was a toddler when I was diagnosed with cancer, so she pretty much didn't realize what was going on, until she got older. She is seven now, and the questions started around the age of five. While she doesn't know everything about cancer, I did try my best to explain my situation in a way that would not frighten her. And this is why I wrote this book, to help children understand cancer a little better. Mi nombre es Jameka Leonard. Me diagnosticaron cancer de cerebro, una forma rara de hecho, un glioma del tronco encefalico. Estaba aterrorizada, pero por suerte tuve la edad suficiente para entender lo que estaba pasando, porque la palabra cancer asusta. Pero me senti realmente triste para mi hija. Mi hija era una nina cuando me diagnosticaron con el cancer, por lo que casi no se dio cuenta de lo que pasaba, hasta que se hizo mayor. Ella es ahora siete anos, y las preguntas se inicio en torno a la edad de cinco anos. Mientras que ella no lo sabe todo sobre el cancer, me di mi mejor esfuerzo para explicar mi situacion de una manera que no asustarla. Y es por eso que escribi este libro, para ayudar a los ninos a entender un poco mejor el cancer.
