The goal is to Spread Awareness
Zoefia was diagnosed with Pineoblastoma when she was 2 years old. – Pineoblastoma is a type of cancerous tumor {malignant} that arises in the area of the pineal gland. It is rare, aggressive, and fast-growing! The exact diagnosis is critical for choosing the correct therapy. Pineal tumors typically present with hydrocephalus, a buildup of fluid pressure within the brain. Individuals with Pineoblastoma live an average of 20 months after their diagnosis, and 10% of affected individuals are alive 5 years after their diagnosis.
Zoefia battled cancer for 4 years and passed away at the age of 6. This foundation was created to honor her life and battle as well as to spread awareness!
Why We Advocate ?
10% of affected individuals are alive 5 years after their diagnosis.
