Never Leave Your Wingman
Dionne and Graham Warner's Story of Hope
Checking Availibility...Description
"Woo Hoo!" yells Dionne Warner as she dances her way into her weekly chemotherapy treatments at the Allan Blair Cancer Centre in Regina, Saskatchewan. While fighting Stage IV cancer of her liver, lungs and bones- her fifth, sixth and seventh cancer diagnoses - the fun-loving Dionne dressed in costume and danced her way into chemo for 25 months of treatments and 78 'themes'. Her wingman, her husband Graham, was at her side all the way. After surviving breast cancer and brain cancer and hearing a diagnosis in 2001 of the first of two liver cancers, Dionne said to her then-fiancé Graham, "You don't have to marry me." Graham, an experienced pilot who had wooed Dionne to Regina, Saskatchewan from her home in Toronto, Ontario replied without hesitation: "You never leave your wingman." Since then, Graham and Dionne have faced this disease together head on, bringing laughter and hope to everyone they meet. Never Leave Your Wingman is an unforgettable true story and a lesson in love.

"This is the first local book I've had the pleasure of reviewing where people on the street have come up to me to share their favourite thoughts on Dionne's story. People told me about how they cried, they laughed, and felt the hope throughout the pages between the very pink book cover of Never Leave Your Wingman... Driver writes in simple prose, as she doesn't need to dazzle us with flowery or overly poetic language. Dionne and Graham's story is enough to inspire. Nor are we treated to a sob story. Dionne is a real woman who likes Whoppers, angel trinkets, worries about her sex life, is concerned for others, and wears elaborate costumes to chemo treatment. And Graham is there for her. Never Leave Your Wingman is the hopeful story we all need." Review by Devin Pacholik http://pagesandpatches.blogspot.ca/2012/04/never-leave-your-wingman-deana-j-driver.html
