ABOUT THE BOOK
Neil Fachon was a 19-year-old engineering-student at Northeastern University when he was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), an inoperable brain stem cancer. His family was with him at Mass General Hospital when the neuro-oncologist said he had three months to live. "Six, if you start radiation."
Shipwrecked so completely, Neil lapsed into a rare moment of self-pity, but with no time to lose the family regrouped and searched out every conceivable DIPG cancer treatment, as quickly as possible. After scouring the internet and making many inquiries, Neil chose to enroll in a clinical trial at the Burzynski Clinic.
Though dogged by controversy throughout his career, Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski has achieved miraculous results treating many patients with "incurable" cancers, including some with DIPG. All began well until the medical system designed to protect patients like Neil instead proved as intractable as the disease in his brain.
DIPG is the first book of a trilogy, covering the time from misdiagnoses to diagnosis, and from choosing and commencing treatment to being denied treatment. Through a long series of moves and counter moves, Neil was caught in a life and death chess match against multiple opponents simultaneously.

"The agency cited concerns about the purity of a single ingredient that had been used for years without any prior evidence of harm.
In the 'postscript' of this book, author Dean Fachon highlights a striking irony: just four years after shutting down Neil’s trial, the FDA took on the role of promoting experimental COVID 'vaccines.' 'The FDA tried to persuade every adult and child in the country to take an experimental treatment while keeping information about its ingredients hidden.” More.
