Today we honor those living with, surviving, or remembering someone with ependymoma, a rare brain and spinal cord tumor that affects far more than the body.
For everyone this day feels personal to, weβre holding space with you.
You are not alone.

May is Brain Cancer Awareness Month. New research from the lab of @FilbinMariella, MD, PhD, suggests that avapritinib, an FDA-approved drug used to treat GI tumors, could also treat high-grade gliomas.
