About me

Introduction	My name is Angelina. I am a grieving cancer mom and childhood brain cancer advocate with many years experience as an early childhood educator. My daughter, Sevanah, was diagnosed with an inoperable, highly aggressive brain stem tumour called diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) on April 1st, 2015. After a brave and graceful fight, Sevanah succumb to the tumour September 4th,2015--just 5 months after her diagnosis. Since Sevanah's passing, I have been researching DIPG brain cancer and childhood cancer statistics non-stop, and sharing this information with anyone who will listen. The most shocking discoveries have been: (1) How little the public and practicing professionals know about DIPG (2) DIPG has had no new advances in treatment in over 50+ years which is why it still has a 0% survival rate (3) That ALL childhood cancers as a whole only receive 3.5% of cancer research funding in Canada (4) Cancer is now the #1 cause of death for children age 1 to adolescence These are devastating facts. As a mother and early childhood educator, I feel that it is my job to bring you accurate information about the childhood cancer world and ideas about how to keep your children healthy.
