When Will is nine years old, he learns that his grandma has been diagnosed with colon cancer. This life changing event brings up fears, misunderstandings, and emotions in Will's mind. With the help of his parents, he navigates questions about how people get cancer, how it develops, and how it is treated while his grandma undergoes surgery and chemotherapy. But he also learns that colon cancer is preventable when his own parents opt to get checked for colon cancer. He decides to spread the word to children that they should get regular health check-ups when they are adults . . . and that they should spread the word of colon cancer prevention as well. Because it might save a life

A diagnosis of cancer is always an extraordinary medical challenge for the patient and all family members. In this book, Will is taught about the origin and the treatment options of colon cancer. But he also learns that he and everyone can play an active part in preventing this kind of cancer.
