The Challenge
As a single mother, Fiona faced uncertainty after two surgical procedures revealed a BRAF-fusion glioma with no WHO grade, leaving her unsure how to plan for treatment or her children's future.
Our Impact
Cancer Commons reframed her stable scans as a meaningful win and shared resources on BRAF-fusion gliomas, second-opinion centers, and research programs. The team also curated psychosocial support for her children and guided her in balancing work and family priorities.
The Outcome
Fiona felt more grounded, informed, and prepared, focusing on being present with her kids while keeping a clear plan for next steps if her disease changes.
