Lose their battle with cancer. It's not for a lack of fighting that people pass away or that people are unable to overcome their cancer.
Imagine facing a life-threatening diagnosis not once, but twice. That's exactly what Kristina Kotlus, a brain cancer survivor, shares in this compelling episode of 'American Medicine Today'. Kristina opens up about her initial diagnosis, where doctors discovered a tumor the size of a citrus fruit in her fourth ventricle, with tentacles wrapped around major brain arteries. Her journey took her through grueling 10-hour brain surgery and six weeks of full brain radiation at renowned institutions like Georgetown and John Hopkins.
Just when she thought she had overcome the worst, the cancer returned, this time in her spine with several larger tumors. Despite these daunting challenges, Kristina's story is one of resilience and self-advocacy. She emphasizes the critical importance of being your own advocate in your healthcare plan and stresses the need to be comfortable with your treatment decisions. Throughout the episode, Kristina's message is clear: never lose hope.
Her candid recounting of her experiences offers invaluable insights and encouragement to anyone facing similar battles. Tune in to hear Kristina's inspiring story and gain a deeper understanding of what it means to fight and survive brain cancer.
