The community has been rallying behind a little girl who is battling a rare form of brain cancer called Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). Don't stop Believing in Brooke Blake!
A student at Barlow Elementary School in Ridgefield, Brooke's treatments have included 40 rounds of radiation, 4 brain procedures which includes 2 clinical trials at Memorial Sloan Kettering. Brooke's family explains, "After discovering that her tumor continued to show progression in the end of April 2017, Brooke was offered no other treatment for her. Brooke's family was told to work with palliative/hospice care and take her home."
"Brooke has already traveled to Mexico 3 times and is receiving intra-arterial treatment along with immunotherapy treatment. She has been doing well and she is clinically doing well. She has an amazing spirit and funny character that keeps her moving forward," her family explains.
