Gavin's fight to conquer DIPG

DIPG is a type of tumor that starts in the brain stem, the part of the brain just above the back of the neck and connected to the spine. The brain stem controls breathing, heart rate and the nerves and muscles that help us see, hear, walk, talk and eat. There is a less than 1% chance of survival rate for DIPG and 90% of children diagnosed will die within 18 months. Which makes this an impossibly scary time for my family and I, especially for Gavin who is only 16 years old! But, Gavin is now determined to do everything he can to fight for his life" Gavin was diagnosed with DIPG August 12th 2019 and was told he had 9 months to a year to live.  After a year had passed Gavin had another scan done and we was told that he had a low grade astrocytoma and gave us life again. Gavin was told by his doctor to retire his DIPG bracelet because he 100% did not have DIPG!!! We were so happy and we were given so much hope. Only to have it ripped away again not even a week later. Gavin was given a death sentence not once but twice! A biopsy has shown that Gavin's tumor is the most aggressive type so his prognosis is not good Experimental trials are our only options or let the tumor take over which is not an option for us! He is fighting so hard every single day.  DIPG has stollen my sons ability to walk on his own, it has impaired his speech, it's stole his confidence, stole his friends and has robbed him of his childhood! Enough is enough! This has to stop! We need a cure! These are our kids! They are our world and our future!!! As Gavin's mother I am terrified, scared, sad and so unsure of what's to come! So we are just preparing for battle. Gavin has a scan next week and then a follow up appointment with his oncologist to discuss treatment options and where we go from here.
Our old family life has literally disappeared over night again, our days are spent trying to spoil Gavin, talk and comfort him and plan for everything we can possibly do that he wishes. I really wish I didn't have to ask for help but unfortunately without all of you, most of Gavin's wishes could not be. He knows he is not alone in this and we are in this together! He has a whole army behind him. So thank you all for making his fight, our fight and showing him so much love and support! With that being said, I have started this go fund me to help give Gavin trips away, days out, his ice creams & protein smoothie runs and anything else that will help bring a little  joy to him as well as any necessities needed along the way in Gavin's journey to extend or (god willing) save his life. 
If you have anything to spare and want to give it, I would be hugely grateful, but  just as grateful for your hopes,
kind thoughts and prayers for Gavin.
