As a parent, your job is to protect your child from harm.
However, it’s not always possible – and that’s the devastating reality that Callie Blackwood had to endure.

 When her son Deryn was diagnosed with leukaemia at the age of 10, he began chemotherapy straight away and was amazingly back to school within a couple of months.

It took the doctors a few days to diagnose what type of cancer this was – because they’d never seen it before.
The cancer was found to be Langerhans cell sarcoma – which is so rare that only five people on the planet have ever suffered from it.
The one in seven billion cancer is aggressive, and so little is known about it that even Deryn himself isn’t sure how to describe it.
