could not wait for my eighth birthday, but everybody was crying. I
didn't understand why they were so upset - don't they know that I
will be fine? I did not know it then but my life was about to
change - forever. I will tell you what it's like to lose your hair,
vomit for hours and learn how to walk again. I will share with you
the sadness of losing a friend in the ward next to me, but I will
also share my happiest moments with you. Join me on my journey of
becoming a cancer survivor, and against all odds a provincial
badminton player. The words in this book are Sarah's, or Spunky as
she is affectionately known. She started to write them only a short
time after her diagnosis - she was eight years old. Her story is
one of bravery and determination. Publisher's Note This true story
is a snap shot of a difficult time in the life of a little girl -
Sarah, or rather Spunky as she is known by her family and friends.
Never has a name fitted a person so well. Sarah at eight years old
wrote this book but she was helped by her mother, Nicky. Nicky gave
understanding to the medical terms and did the initial edit, but
they are Sarah's words. We have been lenient with the edit for
Spunky's words, where we retained incorrect tenses and grammar to
preserve her "voice." As the publisher, many have asked me what I
enjoyed the most about the manuscript. Obviously Sarah's bravery
inspired me, as did her positive outlook. But the best was to get
to know Sarah through her candid descriptions. I am sure you will
be as enchanted as I was. I am humbled by the privilege of bringing
her story to the world.
