Janessa's Journey Through Her Mother's Eyes by Lorraine Sales and Marie R. Ferguson Filled with Anguish and Uncertainty her mission began. A mother's struggle for her child's recovery.
An Amazing Story about a mother and her ten year old daughter and their brave battle against Cancer - Brain Tumors, not once but twice.
Janessa was only ten years old when diagnosed with a mass of malignant brain tumors. And, then again at the age of twelve. A mother's worst nightmare. How do I keep my daughter safe and her spirits up while struggling for her life? I needed to come up with a plan and FAST.
"This incredible story is told through her mother's eyes. With her strength, devotion and imagination, through her love for her daughter, along with strong faith and prayers, they learned what it really means to "live in the moment"! They made each and every second of Janessa's life count. Even through their darkest moments, they created precious memories that are held sacred."- Marie R. Ferguson
Janessa was brave and courageous throughout her battle and continues to be an inspiration to all who know her. Janessa is now 15 and a cancer survivor.
