SPEAKER: Speaker Gigi McMillan spoke about Pediatric Brain Tumors and about the support groups she started to help parents and siblings deal with issues relating to pediatric brain tumors. Her son was diagnosed at age 5 with cancerous brain tumor. He has disabilities now, but he's a happy kid with a good life at age 12. Symptoms: headaches, vomiting, double vision. Since they are rare doctors don't see many. Her parent and sibling support groups know more about what the families need than the doctors. Brain tumors are the #1 cause of death by cancer in children today. About 40% do not survive. Those who do survive generally have disabilities and they and their families need support in dealing with the problems. They provide newsletters and meetings to help the families.
