Hi,
I was hoping to find a parent of a child diagnosed with AA grade 3 to talk to. My daughter was diagnosed in March 2010 and has had 2 brain surgeries since then to remove the tumor. She is 12 years old and a loving, helpful, beautiful girl. I have been devestated over this diagnosis and I would like someone who has been through this or is going through this to write back as I am feeling all alone on this one. Tina

My daughter is just

My daughter is just finishing up on her chemo and she has 8 days left of radiation. She will be on chemo 5 days on, 23 days off after that for 1 year. How about your son? how is he doing? my daughters tumor was removed, was your sons? her tumor was located in the cerrebellum and was the size of a golf ball. She is going to Dartmouth medical center in Lebanon, NH. We are very happy with her team but unhappy with the diagnosis. we had 2 other hospitals do pathology on the tumor and all came back the same. Needless to say it is devastating.
