It’s called DIPG, Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Gliomas. It’s the part of the brain just above the back of the neck and connected to the spine. Most of the time doctors can’t operate.

Hockey players sweep Coach Mariano Award as outstanding senior athletes of 2021
Men’s hockey forward Felix Brassard and women’s hockey defenseman Samantha Benoit were named outstanding senior athletes of 2021 last week at a picnic in Andrews Hall.
President Dr. Mark Anarumo and Athletic Director Anthony Mariano hailed student-athletes and distributed awards at the April 29 picnic, which replaced a traditional awards dinner and had been scheduled for Sabine Field until rainy weather intervened.
Anarumo said he understood the hurt of having an athletics season scrubbed by the pandemic, partly because he saw his son Mark Jr. lose his senior season of Division III ice hockey at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Anarumo said his son’s team lost a chance to contend for a national title and his son lost a chance to visit Europe with the armed forces all-stars.
