Saving Charlotte: A Mother and the Power of Intuition

Saving Charlotte: A Mother and the Power of Intuition ~ Guest: Pia de Jong When her newborn daughter Charlotte is diagnosed with a rare and deadly leukemia, Pia and her husband Robbert make a momentous decision: they reject potentially devastating chemotherapy and instead choose to “wait for what will come.” As the following year unfolds, Pia enters a disorienting world of doctors, medical procedures, and a colorful cast of neighbors and protectors in her native Amsterdam. Her seventeenth-century canal house becomes her inner sanctum, a private “cocoon” where she sweeps away distractions in order to give Charlotte the unfiltered love and strength she needs. Pia’s instinctive decision, now known as “watchful waiting,” has become another viable medical option in many cases like Charlotte’s. This deeply felt memoir reveals the galvanizing impact one child can have on a family, a neighborhood, and a worldwide medical community.
