MY STORY
As most of you know I was diagnosed with Brain Cancer in April of 2014. I went thru the standard care starting with surgery to remove tumor. Then i did 6 weeks of Chemo 7 days a week and 6 weeks of radiation 5 days a week. I then continued to take my chemo pills for a year 5 days on/28 days off. I also participated in a clinical Trial for 2 years. I wore the Optune Device for 2 years. In 2017 the tumor returned. I had a successful surgery to remove tumor. I again participated in a clinical trial (LAG3). after 6 treatments the tumor returned. This time the tumor was inoperable. I then began the standard care prodecure. Every 3 weeks of intravenous drug Avastin and chemo pill every 6 weeks. My first 6 week MRI showed tumor had shrunk. I then had a side affect of the Avastin and had to stop that. I am currently only on chemo pill every 6 weeks. My last 2 MRIs with chemo have stayed the same((stable). ALL MONIES RAISED GOES DIRECTLY TO HILLMAN CENTER AND THEIR RESEARCH FOR THE CURE FOR BRAIN CANCER. NO CEOs, PRESIDENT ,ETC GETTING PAID ! For the past 4 years I have participated in the BCA 5K at White Oak. I have had amazing support from family, friends and co-workc at the walk. This fundraising page was created for those who cannot walk but want to donate. I had to put a Fundraising Goal IN THE BOX, but honestly any amount raised is a bonus. THANK YOU!!! NEED TO FIND A CURE
