Support That Lightened a Caregiver’s Burden

A sudden seizure led to a shocking brain tumor diagnosis for Letecia’s husband. With Brain Tumor Network by her side, Letecia found clarity, support, and hope through every stage of his care.

When Letecia’s husband, a fellow physician assistant, suddenly experienced a seizure at work, their lives changed in an instant. What began as a routine day ended with an unexpected diagnosis: a five-centimeter tumor in his left frontal lobe. The couple, both medical professionals, were shocked and overwhelmed as they tried to navigate next steps.

During one of Letecia’s many calls for help, she was referred to Brain Tumor Network. From the moment she connected with her navigator she felt supported and understood. Her navigator reviewed her husband’s medical records and pathology reports, helped clarify treatment information, and checked in regularly to see how they were coping.

Even as her husband underwent multiple surgeries for recurrent glioblastoma, Letecia found comfort in knowing she could call BTN anytime for guidance or reassurance.

Knowing that our navigator is on our side, reviewing medical records and staying up to date with my husband’s GBM, makes my caregiver burden just a little bit easier. Our conversations give me hope.

At Brain Tumor Network, we are honored to walk beside families like Letecia’s, providing guidance, compassion, and hope through each stage of the brain tumor journey.
