Sinopsis

Everyone, at some point, has to get thru their 'worst possible thing'. For Jim Williams, that was losing Kyle, his six-year-old son, to cancer.ááOne normal night, as he was being tucked into bed, five-year-old Kyle told his mom, 'IâÇÖm always going to be this size.' A year later, Kyle was diagnosed with stage four Neuroblastoma, a rare pediatric cancer afflicting Kyle with tumors to his spine, adrenal gland, liver, and bone marrow. His parents, Jim and Leslie Williams had never heard of Neuroblastoma until that day.ááWhat then ensued was every parentâÇÖs Worst Possible Thing as their whole world turned upside-down: an eighteen-month battle as Kyle fought the cancer that threatened to take his small, miraculous, high-energy life.ááGetting Thru (The Worst Possible Thing) documents this battle from the perspective of KyleâÇÖs father. With raw blog entries penned during JimâÇÖs worst moments and poignant, thoughtful reflections written since their agonizing experience, Getting Thru is a tribute to KyleâÇÖs courageous, adventurous spirit. It is recognition of the ruthlessness and beauty of life. Above all, it is testament to the fact that every single person can get thru the 'worst possible thing' and that there is a beacon of light to be found in every story, no matter how harrowing.
