Mylin's Brain Cancer Fund

I am helping my family raise money to help pay for medical bills and treatments for my 12 year old niece, who was recently diagnosed with brain cancer.
Diagnose Date: May 1st 08'
Name of Diagnose: Brain Stem glioma aka Pontine glioma
First day of Treatment: May 27th 08'
Last day of Treatment: July 7th 08'
Follow up MRI: originally schedule for the 27th of August But due to blurry visions and some discomfort, the MRI was schedule for today....8.12.08
August 12th: follow up MRI

Since her last follow up on the 12th, the tumor remains the same size. It has not gotten any bigger or smaller.. I ask of you all if you could please help my family and most of all my 12 year old niece Mylin with a little pledge that will make her life just that much more better. We'd appreciate it so very much, Thank you and god bless you all!


9 families across America will learn their child has a brain or spinal cord tumor

A mother will grieve that her instincts about her child's health were right.

A father will allow himself to cry, but only alone in the shower.

3 families across America will mourn the loss of their child to a brain or spinal cord tumor

Friends, family and community will try to make sense of an untimely death and the unfulfilled promise of a life.

6 families across America will transition to survivorship.

A mother will be too exhausted from providing constant care to her child to simply write checks to pay bills.

A father will again adapt his day, family and life to a new definition of normal, unlike any he had previously envisioned.

A survivor on the brink of adulthood will wonder if she/he'll ever date, marry or have a family.


I found this on the children's brain tumor foundation website.
