5-year-old Caroline Cronk from Massachusetts, was diagnosed with a type of brain cancer called intrinsic pontin glioma. The disease shuts down pathways that control life functions one by one, like flipping a switch. It also affects the person's motor control and vision and strikes some 200 children a year.
When Rachael Cronk brought her daughter Caroline, 5, to the emergency room one November evening in 2012, it was because her little girl was falling in dance class.
