Emma Wrenn joins us from the UK to discuss her new book about the life of her brave daughter Keira, who was one of a handful of children who pioneered the CED modality of treatment for DIPG in the care of Dr. Steven Gill at University of Bristol. Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma is a death sentence for which Dr. Steven Gill developed this modality to access the tumor for treatment in an unprecedented way.
Sarah Coyne, the book’s editor and an acclaimed author in her own right, shares the process of this book, its powerful message, and an appreciation for Keira’s role in childhood cancer awareness today: one girl’s battle, a worldwide war.
