June 2010 I was diagnosed with GBM Brain Cancer. Local doctors gave me 6 months at most to live. My family would not accept that! They got me to MD Anderson in Orlando, Florida. The specialist there immediately looked at my scans and said it was not GBM that It was Astrocytoma Stage 3. I was treated aggressively with chemo and radiation. I’ve had a few bumps in the road along these 10 years after diagnosis but I’m alive and loving every minute of life. I sure hope my story will help someone who is just starting their fight and know that they can be a SURVIVOR too.
I loved seeing this story as I am 33 years old with a grade 3 anaplastic astrocytoma brain cancer. This gave me so much hope.
Thank you
