In this episode, we go over what an ependymoma is, what the treatment is like and tell the story of an 11 year old Maggie Miller and how an ependymoma changed her life forever. 9 years later, she is the founder of CancerTalkFoundation.org which is a way for young people who have cancer or have had cancer to talk to each other and get advice and tips from her and other people who are in a similar situation. She also has a Facebook set up which I recommend if you use Facebook! 

Thank you all for listening and a big thank you to Maggie for sharing here and for giving back to the community in such a positive way!
