To our breast cancer survivors, I see you, I feel you, I hear you. Thanks for sharing your journey with our Companion community. October is an important month to spread awareness for the unity & healing of all women who have fought and lost, those who currently fight or live in remission, and for all those who will discover they need to battle this diagnosis. We are stronger together. Sadly there is an increased risk for brain tumors if diagnosed with certain types of breast cancer. What will you do to spread awareness? Hugs… 🫂💕

One year ago today, Brain Tumor Companion said farewell to a beautiful soul, our dear friend Terri. For four years she was a light in our lives, bravely sharing her journey with us and inspiring so many along the way.

Terri's path began with a grade 1 meningioma and ended with an aggressive glio that advanced quickly and took her from us within just a few short months. Despite the challenges she faced, Terri's courage, warmth, and authenticity never wavered.

She will always be remembered for her grace and for the incredible gift she gave us by sharing her story openly on YouTube. Terri was also the first person I had ever known to choose the day of her passing, facing the end of her life with strength and dignity on her terms.

If you have not yet listened to her remarkable story, I encourage you to take a moment to do so and reflect on her incredible spirit during a difficult time.

Terri, you are forever in my heart. The work I do each day is inspired by your courage, your light, and your legacy. Love and miss you always. Today I will burn a candle in your memory.

Settle in with us for a little over an hour as we discuss the rollercoaster journey that is surviving a grade 1 meningioma craniotomy with post deficits, to ...

When we raise research & education funding for organizations/ institutions it’s our goal to get to know them and personally meet the neuro teams. BTC wants to learn HOW our collaborative efforts will make a difference for our patient population now & in the future.

This week we had the great fortune of formally meeting Dr. Mustafa Baskaya at the University of Wisconsin Madison. He is the amazing surgeon of two BTCompanions in my peer support group who truly believe they would not be here today if it were not for him being available to immediately take on their complicated surgery. Dr Baskaya is known for always being in the OR, performing some of the most complex brain tumor surgeries. Additionally he pays it forward in a big way by prioritizing the education of future surgeons from around the world.

We met Dr Baskaya and some of his team who are currently training under him. Once trained, UW provides surgical tools and necessary resources for these neurosurgeons to take back to their country to better care for their people. UW includes equipment like high-quality microscopes and surgical tools needed to perform surgery in the way we do here in America.

My heart is beyond full and I must thank John, Ani, and Tom for raising my awareness to this fantastic surgeon and neuro institution so that I can have access to them and share their resources with future patients in need. This is what collaboration is all about!
