 On January 22nd, 2007, our 4-year-old son, Cristian, was diagnosed with a Pontine Glioma which is an inoperable brain tumor located in the stem of the brain. After the doctor's examined Cristian and reviewed his MRI, We received the worst news of our lives. The tumor was inoperable, and the average lifespan for a child with Pontine Glioma is 9 to 18 months. Cristian had always been so lively, energetic and affectionate and it was hard for anyone to believe that something so serious and fatal could happen to a little boy so full of life.
Up to this point, We have gotten advice from doctors and professionals all around the world. |

| We have tried conventional as well as complimentary treatments but nothing has made a significant impact to his condition. His case is currently being overseen by the Neuro Oncology team at Sloan in NYC. The reason for this site is to seek advice, wisdom and to keep searching for a cure. We thank all of you in advance for any information or advice you might have that could possibly help. We will never give up because we know our son will live and we hope to encourage any other family going through this to remain strong and to always hope for the best...for tomorrow can hold the answer to all of our prayers. | |
