Amy Post s Out of the Gray, into the Light is a gut-wrenching story of parental helplessness following their daugther s diagnosis of malignant liver cancer, and it shares the raw, unfiltered emotions of a family suddenly sucked into a healthcare system that often leaves weakened patients to stand silent and alone, in desperate need of an advocate. Now I know what it is to advocate for someone, to put everything I have into something outside of myself. Amy Post Your daughter has malignant liver cancer. For Amy Post and her family, the doctor s words shook their world and changed the trajectory of their lives forever. When Amy received a call from her children s school telling her that her daughter wasn t playing but was instead sitting down on the playground, her mind went into high alert. For months, she d had a nagging suspicion that something wasn t right with her three-year-old. Exhaustion, random fevers, and now this. Amy and her husband were not prepared, though, for the devastating diagnosis. Nor were they ready for the unveiling of a rare gene that promised not one, but three devastating forms of cancer throughout their child s life if she survived this one. In her book, Amy Post shares the raw, unfiltered emotions of a family suddenly sucked into a healthcare system that runs as a machine but often leaves weakened patients to stand silent and alone and in desperate need of an advocate. It s a gut-wrenching story of parental helplessness that grows into a mother s determination and fierce fight for survival for her daughter and then for herself.
