My son was diagnosed with a NGGCT of the pineal gland in 2009, he was 13. Happy to share stories if anyone else has had similar. I cannot find anyone in Australia who has had it.

    Wow! You're the first one
    Wow! You're the first one that I've found that has a son with NGGCT! My son is continuing treatment right now. He was diagnosed in June of this year and started chemotherapy right after his surgery for a shunt. My son is seven years old. I see that your son was diagnosed three years ago. How is he doing?
