On March 18, 2023, I became a 25-year brain tumor survivor! I am profoundly grateful to be alive. Brain tumor treatments, tests, dealing with a mutation, getting additional therapies, discovering integrative cancer care for the whole person, experiencing support from family and friends, using self-care approaches, and other factors have helped me survive and thrive. Everything has brought me to this day with celebration and remarkable appreciation.
I know that hospitals with expertise on the cancer types is essential in the journey. Therefore, when I needed more treatments, I embraced the UCLA Brain Tumor Center for its excellence and top-notch care. In 2013 and 2014 at UCLA, I had my third awake brain surgery, radiation, oral chemotherapy, and an immunotherapy dendritic cell-based vaccine clinical trial. I am incredibly thankful to have those treatments at UCLA.
Brain tumors are complicated, and UCLA Brain Tumor Center has done outstanding work improving brain tumor patient outcomes. While success has occurred through the UCLA Brain Tumor Center, more research is necessary for a challenging disease. I wholeheartedly ask you to please make a tax-deductible donation to the UCLA Brain Tumor Center.
