Diagnosis

MRI day, and all of us went to the hospital.  The MRI took more than 90 minutes... Too long for an MRI... Noone was telling us anything... This cannot be good... When the doctor came out, his face was full of  disappointment... Jimmy was diagnosed with the worst and most aggressive brain tumor... Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG)... . The tumor is quite big, it cannot be removed, and it needs immediate treatment with radiation and chemotherapy... We should contact a children oncologist right away...
