Hi my names Andy (Drew) and I was diagnosed Feb 2017 with a DIPG. Ask if you are not sure.
I’m trying to make new friends who understand my situation.
not sure what else to say but hi!
Hi Andy and welcome to this corner of the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us.
The Mac Community is indeed a good place to connect with folks - so well done finding us.
We do have our very supportive Brain tumours group where folks stick around and help each other out during and after their treatments.
So my cancer journey started in 1999 - hit my Community name to see the story - although a completely different type of journey it was full of very low lows and some highs - presently in remission but under no elision that my condition will not come back again....... but that thought does not define me or the family.
