Finding Hope--Are There Survivors?

Update- since 2010 when this was published there have been several children who have passed away; however several children are still doing quite well.   Starting April 2013 there will be a series of posts on survivors.   You can also search the blog with the keyword "survivor".

Parents new to DIPG often ask, "Are there survivors?"

The children below--though treated very differently--have one thing in common; they have beaten the odds. Their stories provide hope for families who come after them.
