Description

After going through treatment for leukemia, Amy is used to visiting the hospital. As she falls asleep for another medical test, she suddenly finds herself on an adventure. With the help of a shrinking potion, other magic tools and some friends, she’s on a mission to help other kids face leukemia and its treatment.

What is it really like to have this childhood cancer? Find out how Amy beats leukemia and discovers life beyond her illness.

Leukemia is estimated to affect 1 in every 1,000 children, but the voices and experiences of these children are rarely heard amid the complexity of modern medicine.

My Life Beyond Leukemia: A Mayo Clinic patient story is part of the My Life Beyond graphic novel series. Created through collaboration among pediatric patients, their doctors, and children’s author and illustrator Hey Gee, each book in the series dives into the mind and imagination of a child patient at Mayo Clinic to explain how children experience illness, challenges, and recovery.
