Young Emily Mercer has a rare, incurable leukemia that will not respond to chemotherapy. The doctors all say it will be fatal within a few years. Emily's parents, Paul and Lisa Mercer, are naturally frustrated by modern medicine's helpless attitude. When Emily's health suddenly worsens, Paul and Lisa search for alternative therapies. Their best option comes from an unusual alliance of people that work diligently to produce a cure in time. The experimental treatment - neither FDA approved nor tested in humans - might stop the leukemia, but also might kill Emily. As time runs out, the untested treatment must be tried as Emily's disease progresses to a critical and deadly stage. Will the cure save Emily or will it kill her? See for yourself as we race toward a cure for Emily in The Phoenix Resolution. This story carries a message of hope tempered by the suffering and challenges faced by patients and their families living with diseases such as cancer and cystic fibrosis. The Phoenix Resolution explores the promises, limitations and potential impacts of modern personalized medicine and gene therapy.
