I Promised My Son I Would Share His Story

Jacky Fredrickson talks about her book 'JON'.  This is a book about her son who she lost to brain cancer. Jon was 16 when he started to complain of headaches and sickness. An eyesight test revealed the shocking news that he had developed a brain tumour. Over the months and years that followed Jon and his devoted family endured a roller-coaster ride of treatment and therapy, diagnosis and disappointment, until finally no more could be done for Jon, and he died at the age of only 26 with his devoted parents at his bedside. Jon’s illness did not prevent this brave young man from setting up home on his own, travelling around the country independently and embarking on a successful career. His mother Jacky kept a diary of her years of trial, and she has now developed it into this moving and inspiring book.  You can get a copy of the book HERE   Don't forget to check out the Aunty M Brain Tumours Website.
