Description
"The personally devastating and medically enthralling story of a child who is cured of a deadly immune deficiency. It's a parent's worst nightmare: a child's apparently ordinary symptoms turn out to signal a serious illness. This is what happened to Miguel Sancho when his son Sebastian was only 6 months old. The discovery that he had a fatal immune deficiency known as Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD) left the family with few and terrifying options. Sancho's riveting tale of the diagnosis and treatment of his son's illness takes us deep inside the workings of the immune system, which influences every part of the body, and into the cutting-edge treatments that border on the miraculous. Ultimately Sebastian is saved with a bone marrow transplant using discarded umbilical cord blood, a cutting-edge technique pioneered and practiced by the medical wizards at Duke"--,Provided by publisher.
