Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern.
Unfortunately this seems pretty bad. I suppose it is intrinsic diffuse pontine glioma. Other than radiotherapy, there is no other treatment which really helps, not even chemotherapy. I am sorry for that
Hope this helps. Please feel free using MHC again
