Lots of Duke appointments, as well. Praying for good news and answers.

Brain Tumor Awareness Month π§ π©Ά
β Pediatric brain tumors are the most common solid tumor in children, with over 4,000 cases diagnosed annually in the US. They are the leading cause of cancer-related death in children aged 0β14
β Brain tumors account for roughly 1 in 4 (25%) of all childhood cancers.
β They are the deadliest childhood cancer, causing more deaths than any other type of cancer in children.
β Childhood brain and other nervous system cancers are slightly more common in boys than girls.
β While new cases of brain tumors in adults are shrinking each year, incidence rates of pediatric brain tumors continue to grow.
β Most children with brain tumors are treated with procedures and treatments developed more than 50 years ago specifically for adults. Very few drugs exist that are approved by the FDA for treatment of children with brain tumors.
β The average pediatric brain tumor survivor experiences 24 chronic health conditions by age 50, the highest of all childhood cancers. This is compared to the general public average of 9.2 chronic health conditions.

Sorry for the lack of updates. It's been an incredibly stressful couple months.
Deliah has her ups and downs. Two weekends ago she was in the hospital getting morphine for pain. This weekend she attended her 8th grade formal and had a lot of fun with her friends.
MRI in 3 weeks to see if the treatment is working on her brain tumor. Deliah has five appointments total with her specialists - will be a long draining trip, as usual.
