Frank is Dead!

Frank Frank, the brain tumor, is dead.  9-year old David Dingman-Grover was diagnosed with a large rhabdomyosarcoma brain tumor in 2003.  David nicknamed the softball-sized tumor 'Frank'. 

Frank had to be reduced in size by chemotherapy followed by a difficult biopsy to determine if it remained malignant.  David's mom, Tiffini Dingman-Grover, auctioned a "Frank Must Die" bumper sticker on e-bay to raise funds for David's surgery and medical care.

This week David and his family learned that David is now cancer-free.
