Pediatric ALK Spotlight Interview with mother and caregiver Ashley Sitorius, Hampstead, North Carolina

We interviewed Ashley Sitorius, mother and caregiver of 11-year-old Deliah, who was diagnosed with ALK-positive brain cancer when she was just 7. ALK can actually appear in many pediatric cancers as a driver mutation. Among many things, we discussed Deliah’s (and the family’s) journey in navigating this devastating diagnosis, how she has been able to advocate for Deliah’s treatments (some of them not officially approved for pediatric cancer), and her future hopes for pediatric ALK cancer.
