Hello my 8 year old daughter was diagnosed with pxa grade 3! She had it removed with Lil pieces left because it was to dangerous to remove. Then she started radiation by the time radiation starting doing its job her tumor started to grow back. She had a seizure and we were air lifted back to Oakland children's hospital and an MRI was done and that's when we found out it grew back! Now she is on tafinlar oral chemo! I am so scared for her and would love to hear from others that have this rare form of brain tumor! Thank you danielle
