## Caption

When my parents were diagnosed with advanced cancers, we were told to prepare for the worst. My mom was given four years. She lived thirty more. My dad had a grade 4 brain tumor and was told he had 15 months. He lived over three and a half years beyond that.

Their stories remind me that while the statistics can be scary (like the five-year survival rate of just 35.7% for malignant brain tumors), they don’t tell the whole story. There’s always room for hope.

We've put together a guide to help others going through this. It includes:
- How to find the right specialists
- What tumor board reviews are and why they matter
- Tips for choosing a care team you can trust
- Ideas for holistic care that supports your whole self
- Info on how to apply for up to $5,000 in financial support, no proof of hardship needed

🩵 You don’t have to do this alone. We’re here for you. 🔗 in bio to read the full guide.
