In 2021, Matt G. began experiencing severe headaches and dizziness. He was diagnosed with a benign choroid plexus papilloma and underwent surgery for removal. During a routine MRI scan last year, they discovered the tumor had grown back. Now, after a second craniotomy, Matt is being treated with radiation. This #BTAM, Matt and his wife Angel want to help others feel seen and heard in their own struggles. They encourage everyone to raise awareness in a way that feels true to your unique brain tumor experience.

Did you know that clinical trials for brain tumors aren’t just a last resort? In fact, there are five key time points — even before the initial surgery — when patients may be eligible. Understanding these critical windows of opportunity could mean the difference between qualifying for a trial and missing out entirely. That’s why NBTS created MyTumorID to empower patients and caregivers to have those conversations with their care team early and often. Today, on Clinical Trials Day, learn more about when to ask your care team about clinical trials: https://braintumor.org/news/when-to-consider-a-brain-tumor-clinical-trial/ #MyTumorID #ClinicalTrialsDay #clinicaltrials #braintumorawareness #braintumorresearch #NationalBrainTumorSociety (fb)
