"Dear Millie, I am writing you this letter in the hope that life has afforded you the opportunity to grow old enough to read it..." So starts the most extraordinary diary about a seven-year-old girl and her family, violently thrown into the most dreaded abyss when they discover she has cancer in the form of a malignant brain tumour. On the morning of 5th April 2013, Millie wakes up complaining of 'fuzziness' in her eyes. This very quickly turns to loss of vision. Within the next two days Millie will undergo her first eight-hour craniotomy (brain operation) to preserve the little eyesight she has left. Within four days, by now blind, she will be diagnosed with cancer, and within a fortnight she will begin her first cycle of aggressive chemotherapy. Over the course of the six months that follow, Millie will undertake two further brain operations, three additional cycles of chemotherapy and thirty sessions of radiotherapy - 4,000 miles away from home. This diary is her story, the intimate tale of her illness in three parts (Hell, Purgatory and Heaven). It is recounted by her father as his gift to Millie, so that she can read it at an age when she will be old enough to understand the enormity of the immeasurable suffering she had to endure, and the extraordinary courage with which she did it. Dear Millie is not just based on a true story - it is a true story. It is an extraordinary tale of suffering, destruction, resilience and, ultimately, rebirth. In support of Great Ormond Street Hospital, Marco Previero has pledged to donate all royalties to this charity in order to contribute to the ongoing effort to help other children, now and in the future, in fighting this most deadly of afflictions and its devastating consequences.

About the Author Marco Previero was born in Montpellier, France, in 1972. He moved to the UK in 1988 to finish his schooling - and stayed. Having long accepted without too much remorse the gentle pleasures of an uneventful and ordinary life, he was woefully unprepared to guide and support his seven-year-old daughter through the vicious agony of cancer treatment when she was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour in April 2013. He has been trying his best to be a good father ever since.

Previero has an amazing and intelligent way of describing the chaos around him By Kristine Fisher Dear Millie by Marco Previero is a free NetGalley ebook that I began to read in late, late March. Finding the Emperor of All Maladies to be seeped too far in clinical speak, I decided that this book would be much more up my alley, especially with the documentaries and talk radio stories that I've been encountering about alternative treatments.Where the Emperor of All Maladies succeeds and swells in medical terminology, this book outweighs it in all of the insight and gravity that a family of caregivers has to other. Even if Dear Millie is written in a progressingly catastrophic journal format, Previero has an amazing and intelligent way of describing the chaos around him. He also really, really seems to like Whole Foods.

As I read the first few pages, I was struck at how similar my, or any parent's, reaction would be if faced with such an unthinkable medical nightmare as the author.'s My heart went out to this family as I read. Totally mesermized, I could not put this book down and finished it in a day. I thank the author for not only allowing an unknown audience to be a part of such a personal experience, but also for educating us as to the treatment protocols for this disease. I had no idea it was that extensive or dangerous! Thank you for writing this book. Sometimes we need a book like this to remind us how precious life (and our children) is.

By Katarina Ortmann A deeply moving true account from the father's POV about his seven year old daughter being diagnosed with cancer and going through treatment.This book is extremely well-written. The subject is heart-breaking and highly emotional, so it's no surprise that I cried several times while reading this. I applaud Marco for his honest account of his journey through his daughter's cancer. I hope Millie will be healthy enough to read this as an adult. I couldn't even imagine, what they went though, but after reading this I have a tiny idea.thank you for writing this book and sharing your story with the world.
