Rest in Peace. This is not a rare disease. There is NO known cure.
There is NO known successful treatment.. NO explanation as to why it happens. The overall survival rate is LESS than 1%!
No family and children should have to deal with this let alone have no explanation. My heart breaks over and over every time a beautiful soul is taken by DIPG.
