"After three years as a resident physician in pathology, I'd grown accustomed to seeing cancer. In fact, I see it every day. But this was different: These were just kids.

Kids with leukemia. Kids with osteosarcoma. Kids with Wilms' tumor of the kidney. Kids with melanoma. The youngest kid diagnosed with cancer was just 3 days old."
