Her little girl had leukemia. But Kirsty knew that Hannah was a fighter, and after grueling chemotherapy she beat the disease. But there was more trauma to come: the chemotherapy drugs had damaged Hannahs heart. At first, doctors hoped that Hannahs body would compensate for the damaged muscle, but when Hannah was only twelve her heart failed without warning. As her life hung in the balance, doctors advised that Hannahs only chance of survival was a heart transplant, but the operation was very risky and the anti-rejection drugs might bring back the leukaemia. Kirsty knew one thing: Hannah deserved to decide her own destiny. Wise beyond her years after learning to cope with so much, Hannah made her choice: she did not want the transplant. Shed had enough of hospitals and wanted to be at home with her family. Then in July 2009, the right side of Hannahs heart completely stopped working and her kidneys started to fail. Days later Hannah celebrated her 14th birthday—a milestone she was never expected to reach—and Hannah was ready to make a different choice. She agreed to have the transplant. Now Kirsty and Hannah tell their unique story and, with wit and honesty, their interweaving voices describe how facing and overcoming death has taught them so much about living. Filled with wisdom and grace, tears and laughter, Hannahs Choice is about beating the odds and finding joy in each day.
