Newly diagnosed
Making sense of a changed reality and what comes next.
A more meaningful way forward
Cancer & Meaning
Meaning-centred support for diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, recurrence, and caregiving.
Cancer can disrupt far more than the body. It can alter identity, relationships, assumptions, and the shape of the future. Dragon Fire offers a steady place to confront that disruption and find a way forward with greater clarity, courage, and meaning.
Understanding forged through experience
I have overcome Stage 4 cancer twice.
I know firsthand that cancer reaches beyond scans and treatment plans—into identity, relationships, time, fear, and the story you thought you were living. I will never presume that my experience is identical to yours, but I am not speaking from a safe distance.
