Oh my gosh!! To have gone 14 yrs without reoccurrence of your brain cancer is definitely a miracle in my humble opinion! You are absolutely blessed and also a blessing to others! May you continue on your life path disease free ❤!

Wow-congratulations to you, 14 years with glioblastoma is such a miracle! I am sure you are such an inspiration to so many brain cancer patients! Best wishes for a continued long life!

You never know you might be that one person that never has it grow back....you could defy the odds. ❤xx!

My darling girl, I’m in a different part of the world to you but I’m a grade 3 Astrocytoma survivor, it will be 5 years in July since I had my tumour removed. God bless you Xx

Katie me and you are brain tumor buddies! 😅 had one removed from the base of my skull. It was a size of a grapefruit. 11 hours in surgery. Then complications and another surgery to install a vp shunt. I’m 7 years out and so much of what you share is so similar.
You are so strong and beautiful. Don’t call yourself a handicap mama. You’re perfect as you are and were given to your kids not by mistake. They will benefit from it.
So happy they were  able to operate on you and take it out!

I was told in 2020 to get my things in order. Im still here. I have to be here for my dog. Still working construction. Not even disability. I wish you and everyone the best.

GBM’s are the worst brain tumor to have for sure.  Cheryl Broyles was diagnosed at age 33 and she wrote a book called “Life’s Mountains”. At the time of her diagnosis, she had two very young children.  She lived 23 years so she did have multiple reoccurrences.  
I found her in her story when my daughter was diagnosed with glioblastoma.  My daughter’s tumor was IDH mutated and she responded very well to treatment for over 10 years.  
I would encourage Katie to insist on an MRI every six months it is well warranted.  
My heart feels very full, knowing there are other people out there who are thriving and doing exceptionally well❤

My sister’s son-in-law 15yrs with  gioblastoma , so far soo good. Praying for you both. 🙏

It was very difficult for me to listen to your story, as my granddaughter passed March 26, 2026 from glioblastoma.  She was just 21 yrs old.  Her original diagnosis of glioblastoma was in May 2013.  She was eight yrs old.  She had total resection of her tumor, SOC treatment.  With one oral trial drug.   She recovered.  She was 15 when she had regrowth of a tumor in the old tumor site.  This was her second brain surgery, turned out to be benign.  She ended up in a rehab center for 33 days to regain strength, ability to walk and talk.  Again she recovered.  At 17 diagnosed with ovarian cancer, surgery done with removal of only the one affected ovary.  She graduated at 18 with no hair for the second time in her life.  She recovered again.   May of 2025 glioblastoma returned.  It is a horrible diagnosis. We knew it would come back one day. And so it did.😢. She did have biopsy done which caused a clot leaving her right side weak.  Lt side lost all function due to the rapid grown of the inoperable tumor.  It was in the part of the brain that
, controlled breathing.  Dr.s said most likely she would die on the operating table and they just couldn’t risk that.  Radiation decreased the size of the tumor, yet her symptoms remained the same.  It was just so hard seeing this young person, our child, look like the elderly patients I cared for as a nurse who all had had strokes.  Through it all she was the truest human I had ever known.  She told and lived her truth.  Never once did I witness her being unkind.  Wise beyond her years through it all.  The 2 & 1/2 hrs it took me to drive to where she was, I cried intermittently saying Lord I just don’t understand.  I had no idea what I meant.   I sat at her bedside for the next ten hours and then she died.  I had turned to plug in my phone, when I heard her voice, softer than her normal, say “Mom”.  I instantly turned to face her, thinking she had awakened for the first time in 24 hrs..  but she hadn’t .   Her earthly voice from her body had not spoken Mom.  For She had passed .   No way did she speak.  Yet I heard her say Mom.  I truly believe the voice was hers, and she spoke as she transitioned to an angel.  She didn’t want to die, she had said so a while before when she was planning the treatments with Dr’s.   The message of Mom said to me I am ok now, love you.  Jessica was a sweet girl.  I called her my dolly.

You are truly a miracle as of right now !  My husband’s first wife was 30 years old and pregnant with her 4th child when she came down with horrendous headaches and she had a lemon size glioblastoma.   She had a couple reoccurrences and was gone by age 33.  Im only saying this because 14 years is AMAZING.   God is bigger than all of it and He can keep you tumor and cancer free forever !!!  Thats my prayer for you!

no one survived glioblastoma!!!  you are a miracle.

You've been through so much. It must have been so devastating. I'm sorry.
It's good to have you here ❤ I'm glad things got better. Thank you for sharing your story!

Your journey is incredible. So glad you wrote a book for others.

Can relate to you about the bad doctors

Katie; you are my hero!!!❤ ❤❤Thank G- you didn’t take your original diagnosis as your destiny and had such supportive doctors to help you!!  Hoping you get to enjoy many more milestones with your beautiful family. Best of luck. !!

What a journey😢 sending you much love❤ I wish you many many years to come❤

You are so eloquent, your tenacity inspires me so much, you have more gumption than people who don't have an illness. Keep doing what you're doing and live life to the fullest ✨.

A wonderful, uplifting story!  My lovely younger sister had a seizure in 2021, and was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma.  She was determined to fight and seek treatmeent abroad, if necessary., However, mistakes were made at the hospital,; when she changed wards, her notes were not sent with her, and she was not anticoagulated. She ended up with  multiple blood clots , and could not be considered for clinical trials. She died at home, less than 9 months after diagnosis. We miss her so much, and to hear your story is just wonderful! Well Done!! Absolutely amazing!

STAY STRONG WARRIOR, SENDING ALL BEST VIBES ON YOUR WAY, G.D WONT LEAVE YOU ALONE!!!

Wishing you the best of life! ❤️
