I was debating posting this but i thought if something positive even if slightly could come from this, My Sisters Daughters son was diagonsised with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma ( DIPG), It is a cancer the effects the brain stem in children, A child diagnosed with DIPG today faces the same prognosis as a child diagnosed 40 years ago. There is still no effective treatment and no chance of survival. Only 10% of children with DIPG survive for 2 years following their diagnosis, and less than 1% survive for 5 years. The median survival time is 9 months from diagnosis.

His Name Was Logan Foisy who,s journey ended Thursday oct 3, He was 4 years old .He loved his family, pets and favorite thing in this world was the incredible hulk and his collection of hulk toys,

Maybe someday there will be a cure for DIPG.

Im hoping in posting this those who can would consider donating to a Children,s Cancer Hospital or Children,s cancer support .

Here is a link to the childrens hospital that logan was treated at in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, You can Donate here or any other Cancer Hospital, Any money not only goes to someday find a cure but also helps with treatment And recovery

You have my deepest sympathy.

FYI, I fund raise for Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. The donations fund "rare" cancers. The definition of "rare" is less than 200,000 new cases a year.

Doesn't sound that rare to me.

My his memory be for a blessing.

Often "we" fall into a trap of complaining.
Complaining about a lack of money, missed opportunities, illness or social standing.
None of these are real problems nor worthy of complaint when you stop and look at others who have very real and very serious problems that haven't any solution such as this.

Sorry for your loss. I know someone who also has a disease that apparently has no cure. I feel what you are going through. Sometimes these little people show more courage than some of us.
