We are grateful to all of the Registry participants who complete the quality of life (QOL) surveys. These surveys were first suggested by parents of children with PPB to help answer some of the important questions that arise in daily life. The goal is to understand the impact of PPB and other DICER1-related cancers in kids and adults. December is Cancer-Related Fatigue Awareness Month, and we take this time to honor those who are walking and have walked through the many challenges of a cancer diagnosis.
