Dragonslayer Diaries



Once upon a time a woman and her daughter met a real live fire-breathing dragon.  That dragon's name was cancer and that woman was me.  This is our story.       




Just days after her 11th birthday, doctors diagnosed my youngest child with Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of bone cancer.  I became a warrior mother overnight—a Dragonslayer.  And we readied ourselves for battle.  Reader beware: Here there be dragons.
