About me

Introduction	Hello...my name is Dakota. I am 13 years old and love to cook and bake. And, I love to eat. I have Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) which is a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow all over the nerve endings in my body. I have a large plexiform tumor growing on my left shoulder that hurts a alot, 3 brain tumors (including an inoperable brainstem glioma that is actively growing), and neurofibromas (non-cancerous tumors) growing all over my body. Time in the kitchen helps to keep my mind off of the pain. NF often affects height growth and people with NF are usually shorties. That is how I came up with the name for this blog "A Pint-Sized Chef".
