For Inspiration Friday and Brain Tumor Awareness Month, we celebrate the survivors of craniopharyngioma. Many years ago, the father of modern neurosurgery, Harvey Cushing, called this tumor "the most formidable of intracranial tumors."
While very survivable, these tumors occupy the middle of the bran and can encroach upon many vital parts responsible for body function, temperature regulation, memory, vision, metabolism, behavior, stress response...the list goes on. These tumors occur in children and adults and they are highly recurrent.
A parent of a 19-year survivor recently remarked that she could not believe that in 20 years, there still is no improvements in treatments of these tumors to ensure better outcomes.
The new mission of the Raymond A. Wood Foundation is about focusing in on tumors like these that occupy this region of the brain because it's time to find a better way.
These are the faces of survivors from around the world - sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, moms, dads, friends - that embody the true meaning of strength and resilience. When COVID is in our rearview, these faces will still be up against the daily challenges that come with these tumors.
Please consider supporting RAWF's new mission. Its time for a better way https://www.rawoodfoundation.org/donate
