Fight Against Oligodendroglioma

Published on June 18, 2016 in Share Your Story

My husband, Terry, was diagnosed in 2011 with oligodendroglioma after a grand mal seizure when he was just 25 years old. Since then, Terry has been through radiation, several chemos, and is scheduled to have his third brain surgery this Friday, July 15, 2016. I have seen this disease suck the life out of him. Terry has remained strong and courageous throughout the whole thing. We will continue to fight and pray the research being done will lead to a breakthrough soon. We have a 4 year old and he needs his Dad to get better.
