We are forever grateful to the wonderful doctors and care we have received since Ashlyn was first diagnosed with a Hypothalamic Pilocytic Astrocytoma at the age of 9 months.  Because her tumor cannot be safely surgically removed, we rely on new innovative chemotherapeutic treatments to help keep her tumor from growing. Sadly, this will be our plight for possibly the next 8 to 10 years. This has been a tough fight for us all but we will continue to battle on. Thank you so much for your care and support!
