Wink by rob harrell summary7/2/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() In fact, he was diagnosed with the same Cancer as young Ross. It was only after I finished reading this story that I discovered the author experienced Cancer first-hand as a young boy. One thing that really hit home for me was how sad Ross was after his last treatment – it really is a sad moment, believe it or not.Ī particularly poignant part of this story was how one of his close friends just ‘disappeared’, purely because his friend didn’t know how to handle his condition. This isn’t only good fun, it is often contentious!! Also, some of the waiting room distractions employed, such as fish tanks, really work. ![]() Some precise observations included the inter-patient camaraderie experienced in the radiation therapy waiting room and with the radiation therapists, even down to the fact of choosing the music to be played during treatment. But this was written in a way that really conveyed what it is like, from a very personal view of having a disease such as this and undergoing the rigours of radiation therapy. To be sure, this can be achieved by interviewing oncology patients, medical professionals and the like. The first thing I noticed was, the story is so incredibly accurate. Wink by Rob Harrell is a solid 4-star effort. He consequently needs to attend 8 weeks of radiation therapy, which is no small thing – physically and emotionally. ![]() This is a wonderful work of Young-Adult fiction about a young lad called Ross who is unlucky enough to be diagnosed with a rare form of eye Cancer. ![]()
