It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS, indeterminate dendritic cell histiocytosis or other (non-LCH) histiocytic sarcomas cases.
I'm trying to understand non-surgical chemo and targeted therapy options, new pathology markers to better diagnose subtypes/treatments, and any data on progression in pediatric patients. Please feel free to share – I’m trying to cast a wide net due to the rarity of this condition and how little is known.
People can contact me directly at my first name (as written in my profile) at https://t.co/ubo0zQRMn0.

if you could press a button that cures your child’s brain tumor in exchange for ending your life immediately, every parent would hesitate for zero seconds before fighting to be the first to press it
the cruelest thing is that no such button exists.
but there is always a move 👇
With the start of #CrohnsandColitisAwarenessWeek, I want to take a moment to reflect on the many young children living with #IBD. It’s heartbreaking to see the rising incidence of IBD among young children and the immense burden they face at such a tender age.
Nothing is more urgent than advancing treatments and finding a cure to alleviate this burden. In the meantime, I hope below resource offers comfort, inspiration, and empowerment to young children.

Big news. California just banned artificial dyes in schools. @KelloggsUS now would be an amazing time to drop the artificial dyes for all kids regardless of where they live in the US. It’s time to stop poisoning our kids!

I was touched to see Gus Walz’s joy when his dad @Tim_Walz took the stage last night. Thankful for you showing us all what real love looks like, Gus.
Let’s be a nation that embraces this kind of warmth and vulnerability, instead of making fun or mocking it. We could all use some of Gus’s example in our own lives.
Starting in January of next year, every senior on Medicare will have their out-of-pocket drug costs capped at $2,000 a year total – even for expensive cancer drugs that can cost $14,000 a year.
And next, we are going to make sure that applies to everyone – not just seniors.
More than 69% of Americans support #MedicareForAll. We know it’s time for a truly universal health care system that has no copays, deductibles, or hidden fees. Health care is a human right. Let’s get it done.
