The Patient Experience

Nothing prepares you for dealing with a loved one with glioblastoma. I always felt I could turn to BTN for help and support. They made the journey much easier. I can’t imagine what it would have been like without them.

William is only at the beginning of his 2 year treatment. This is the beginning to a long bumpy, curved road that can lead in many different directions. Without our Navigator and the Brain Tumor Network I don’t know where we would be.
shared byFelicia, parent
We are so grateful, working with Brain Tumor Network allowed us to have a much better experience.
She helped guide our way when I felt so uncertain about which direction to turn.
