“UGA Student’s Family Chooses to Cease Treatment for Brain Tumor Diagnosis – Discover Their Brave Decision”
Family of UGA student diagnosed with brain tumor makes decision to stop treatment
A University of Georgia student who was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor several months ago has made the decision to stop treatment.
The student, who has not been identified, was diagnosed with a diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) in November 2019. DIPG is a particularly aggressive and rare form of brain cancer that affects children and young adults.
The student has been receiving treatment at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, but the family announced recently that they have decided to stop treatment.
In a statement, the family said, “After much prayer, discussion, and careful consideration, we have decided to stop treatment and savor every moment together as a family.”
The family expressed their gratitude for the outpouring of support they have received from the community and asked for privacy as they spend time with their loved one.
The decision to stop treatment has been a difficult one, but the family said they are at peace with it.
According to the American Cancer Society, DIPG is a rare type of aggressive brain tumor that accounts for 10-15% of all brain tumors in children. It is usually found in the middle of the brain stem, which controls many vital functions such as breathing, blood pressure, and heartbeat.
Currently, there is no known cure for DIPG, and treatment options are limited. Radiation therapy is the standard treatment for DIPG, but even with radiation, survival rates are low.
The family has set up a GoFundMe page to help with medical expenses and other costs associated with the student’s illness.
May her passing be peaceful

I'm so sorry for her family. Can't imagine the loss of a child!! The send off sounds right though.❤

I was listening to a radio station there’s a new treatment. Cause of cancer cells will fight whatever you try. But I heard what they do they put iron around The treatment and use a magnet Machine to get where the cancerous then release it
All medical treatment do is prolong the misery. I saw it with both of my parents and brother. Not worth it! Enjoy what you have left and truly live as if it’s your last day. As we all should because we are all dying each day closer and closer.
That’s so sad, I’m so sorry 😞
If I were in their position id try fenbendazole and or ivermectin and or hydroxycloroquine. But I am not a doctor.
Brave beautiful lady. I’m sorry this has happened to you. Your energy will continue Godspeed
Mom and Dad, you will see your daughter Tomorrow, so you both stay close to the Lord and I am praying for you. The Bible calls the Holy Spirit our Comforter, and He will never leave you.
So sad
I always wonder why the young people? I know cancer can hit anyone but she is a beautiful young woman 😢. Why oh why. My heart is crushed for her family and friends.
They now inject polio directly into the tumor to kill it. They've had excellent results.
🙏❣️🙏
God bless you beautiful sleeping warrior.

Americans who go to Mexico to party, deserve everything coming to them.
Take that GoFundMe page down! People die everyday, kids die, kids are homeless. Lets worry about that instead of begging for others to pay your bills. Thats not what GoFundMe is for, and their rules are Changing because of these types of things
Vaya con Dios angel, Vaya con Dios
🙏❤️
