Product Description
Product Description
Fran Burke and her husband Adrian had always wanted children, but on their second wedding anniversary Fran was diagnosed with leukaemia. In the glare of intense media coverage, she took the desperate decision to delay treatment to try for a child, knowing the decision could cost her life. In 1992 she had the joy of giving birth to a perfect son, then risked it all again for a second baby. After a successful transplant, Fran is thankful to be leading a full life. Her heart-wrenching testimony to the amazing power of love and courage will give hope to anyone facing an ordeal either themselves or through loved ones.
From the Back Cover
"To meet Fran once is to discover her warmth and courage - her book gives hope for anyone connected with leukaemia, the biggest killer of our children today." Linda Robson
"I urge everyone to read this book by a remarkable woman who I am proud to call my friend. I am a better person for knowing her." Duchess of Kent

5.0 out of 5 stars
Inspirational,
This review is from: DYING TO LIVE HB: My Fight for a Future and a Family (Hardcover)
This was a very emotional book written with many ups and downs. By the end you feel you realy know Fran. It was at times difficult to read I was crying so much but I enjoyed the book and would definitely recommend it. An emotional roller coaster.I work for the same Company that Fran did and as a result of her illness and its publicity within the Company I joined the Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow Regaister in 1990 but I have not yet been called upon to give my bone marrow. I hope that everyone who reads the book joins the register and gives hope to others.
