Dream big Thibault
Thibault is a newborn baby with a yellow color. A yellow color that barely diminishes after hours of lying still under a UV lamp, a color that does not disappear in the sunlight at the window, a tint that does not go away, on the contrary. Thibault's yellow color is the beginning of a long story. This is the true story of Thibault's young life. When he is six months old, he undergoes a liver transplant with his father as a living donor. At the age of six, he is struck by post-transplant lymphoma, a cancer caused by the chronic intake of medication. Author Petra Foulon (Meeuwen-Gruitrode) gets into the skin of Thibault's parents and writes from their thoughts. No list of facts, no sensationalist text. On the contrary: a realistic, striking story with sincere testimonies and unique interviews with doctors, professors, clinical psychologists, an oncology nurse and a physiotherapist. Supplemented with concise scientific information about transplantation and cancer. A gripping story that will not leave you cold. Part of the proceeds will be donated to the Gasthuisberg children's hospital in Leuven.
