Mike and Rachel Find Support From NBTS Patient Navigator

Published on December 5, 2025 in Survivor

On March 17, 2025, Mike was diagnosed with a brain tumor while on a work trip. He endured an awake craniotomy; weeks in the hospital and rehab; radiation; and months of chemotherapy.

Overwhelmed by unknowns and endless questions, his wife, Rachel, connected with the National Brain Tumor Society’s Personalized Support and Navigation team. NBTS helped them ask the right questions to find the best care team.

No one should have to face this disease alone. No matter where you are in your brain tumor experience, the National Brain Tumor Society is here for you. From offering patient navigation and support groups to hosting advocacy and fundraising events, we support and unite the brain tumor community all year round.
