🛑 Stop! You are doing a great job.
Caring for a child with complex needs can be tough. It's okay to feel totally wiped out. That feeling is called caregiver burnout, and you are not failing—you're human!

Watch out for these signs:
- You're tired even after you sleep.
- You feel grumpy, sad, or just "numb."
- You get sick a lot or have headaches.
- You don't want to hang out with friends anymore.

Learn about caregiver burnout and how to manage the various aspects in our most recent TGen's Center for Rare Childhood Disorders blog ➡️ https://www.tgen.org/patients/center-for-rare-childhood-disorders/stories/managing-caregiver-burnout-when-your-child-has-complex-needs/

You are carrying a lot, and you deserve support. You don't have to do this alone. ❤️

Thank you to the Hope Through Hollis Golf Tournament & Family Event Fund for their continued support of TGen's research for Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG).

Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) is a type of central nervous system tumor that forms from glial (supportive) tissue of the brain and spinal cord. DIPG is a rare cancer, with only 350 children diagnosed each year. The average survival is one year from diagnosis.

With the support of Hope Through Hollis Fund, TGen has been able to continue the fight to find a cure and treatment of DIPG.

Dr. Derek Cridebring, Vice President of Molecular Medicine and Clinical Partner Relations at TGen, recently shared insights from a clinical study involving patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. Participants received chemotherapy and were randomized to either a ketogenic diet or a non-ketogenic diet.

The study aimed to determine whether dietary interventions could influence how long patients lived and how long their disease remained under control.

Results were encouraging: patients following the ketogenic diet experienced longer progression-free survival and improved overall survival compared to those on a standard diet.

These findings highlight the potential for metabolic-based approaches to complement standard therapies and bring new hope to patients facing one of the toughest cancers to treat.

November's episode of features Dr. Haiyong Han, who dives into his latest work on one of the deadliest of cancers: .

He breaks down why this disease is so hard to catch early, how it can grow silently for years before symptoms appear, and why identifying true positives in the general population is such a big challenge.

Dr. Han also shares promising progress toward a new non-invasive screening test that could one day enable earlier detection of pancreatic cancer. The goal? To turn this deadly disease into a more manageable condition, and give patients real hope for the future.

As we recognize Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month in November, this episode emphasizes the urgent need for improved diagnostic methods, more effective treatments, and continued research to change the outcome for patients everywhere.
