Our Story
Steven is a 27 year old young man who was diagnosed with malignant glioma of brain after a tumor was removed at UW Health Madison. He was experiencing migraines that persisted to occur 3 - 4 times/day and then started to feel nauseous, dizzy, and imbalanced. He went for an appointment hoping to come out with a migraine Rx; however, he was set up for a CT scan which led to an emergency MRI and ambulance ride to specialists in Madison. He was admitted on a Saturday, had brain surgery on Monday, and went home on Wednesday. He started his chemo and radiation treatments December 26 and will continue maintenance chemo through February for this terminal malignant cancer.
