Our son was treated by Dr. Arceci when He was in Boston at Dana Farber Cancer institute. Our son was 13 at the time of his diagnosis. After an above the knee amputation and a year on chemotherapy he was discharged. That was in 1983-4. Today he's healthy happy 35 year old with three children and a beautiful wife. I pray he will never know the pain that his mother and I endured, despite the joy he gives us now. Dr. Arceci is a gift from God. I have no doubt that he saved my son's life, and perhaps mine. You can bet We'll be watching.

Thank you so much for sharing with the world this life-changing journey. Our daughter was diagnosed at 2 months old. We are blessed to say she is now a healthy 3 year old.

I hope your program will enlighten the world as we were enlightened so that more people will take action to fund the fight and support the children and families.

I look forward to the series and thank you.

I just wanted to express my gratitude for this upcoming series.  I lost my daughter 5 years ago to "the cancer monster" as she so gracefully called it. She was only 7-years-old at the time.

I get very upset due to the lack of exposure regarding childhood cancer. Society doesn't deal with it because "kids are not supposed to die"! But, we all know that in reality they do. There is so much talk and fundraising for so many other cancers but chldhood cancer is never talked about. Everyone sees the pink ribbons for breast cancer, yet when I wear my gold ribbon nobody has a clue, then when I tell them the just gasp for air and carry on. I just feel that these kids that are fighting, that have survived, and those that have not survived need to be recognized.

So, way to go for A Lion in the House! I will be waiting (with my tissues) to watch this series.
