“Eighteen years ago, when my daughter Lily was diagnosed with a brain tumor, I knew nothing,” said Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) writer, Trish Adkins. “I guessed that brain tumors in 14-month-old babies were rare. I knew this diagnosis would devastate us, but I didn’t know if her tumor was “cancer” or even really understand how cancer worked. I didn’t know there were treatments and, if there were treatments, if they would leave Lily severely disabled. I didn’t know there were other families like ours, some just down the hall in the PICU, facing the same grim, terrifying diagnosis.

And I didn’t know if my daughter would survive.” #BrainTumorAwareness
