May is Brain Tumor Awareness Month.
Did you know that a brain tumor is an abnormal growth of cells in or near the brain, potentially originating in the brain itself (primary) or spreading from elsewhere in the body (secondary/metastatic)? Tumors can be benign or malignant, varying greatly in size and impact.
Symptoms may not always be immediately apparent, depending on the tumor's location. Treatment options like surgery and radiation therapy are tailored to each individual. Let's increase understanding and support for those affected.

I joined GRACE as a caregiver for my husband who had a Pancoast tumor, NSCLC stage III in 2009. He had curative chemo/rads then it was believed he had a recurrence in the spine/oligometastasis that was radiated. He's 10 years out from treatment.
