Clayton turned to BTN after a sudden diagnosis left him searching for direction. His navigators helped him understand his disease, arrange second opinions, and move through treatment with clearer footing.
When Clayton experienced a sudden seizure while flying a helicopter in 2021, his life changed in an instant. Doctors discovered a mass on the left side of his brain, and a biopsy confirmed a grade 3 anaplastic astrocytoma. The diagnosis left Clayton and his family feeling lost and unsure of where to turn.
A friend told him about Brain Tumor Network. From his first call, Clayton received clear information about his diagnosis and guidance on treatment options. His nurse navigators helped him coordinate second opinions and better understand what to expect at each stage of care.
Since connecting with Brain Tumor Network, Clayton has undergone two successful surgeries, radiation, and chemotherapy. He continues to feel supported by his family, friends, and care team, including his BTN nurse navigators.
Brain Tumor Network was extremely helpful when I was trying to understand my disease. They gave me essential guidance on treatment options and facilitated second opinions for me.
At Brain Tumor Network, we are honored to help patients like Clayton find clarity, confidence, and hope through every stage of their brain tumor journey.
