Ronan was born on June 13, 2001 in Edmonton to Joe and Ali. He is a big brother to Malcolm; grandson to Lydia, Teresa and Bob; nephew, cousin and friend to many. A 4th grader at Prince Charles School; musician; music lover; chess champion; Harry Potter fan; bananagram-er; card shark; board gamer, corny joke teller. And cancer fighter.

This blog is intended to ensure that Ronan’s vast support team of family and friends are connected, informed and engaged while he, dad Joe, mom Ali and brother Malcolm help him beat a terrible, scary disease - embryonal sarcoma, a rare childhood liver cancer. So welcome to Ronan’s blog. Sit, read, cry, and vow to fight this fight with Ronan, Malcolm, Ali and Joe. And please leave a few words of encouragement with a Comment.

Second Surgery Scheduled

Surgery #2 is set for Monday, April 18, and admittance on Sunday. A week from today and he'll be in recovery!
We had a finger poke this morning - we haven't heard the results yet, but we are confident his counts have made a full recovery. I was hoping to send Ronan back to school, but with his surgery next week, it is best if he doesn't get exposed to colds etc. (and since he has been away from those germs for so long he is likely more susceptible). With any luck, he will be back to school by the end of May. Can anyone believe it?! :)
