Her First Diagnosis

Less than two years from the day they got married, Brittany began to get horrible headaches. In fact, they would be so bad that she was practically incapacitated when she would get them. It was during a vacation that the then 29-year-old Brittany had gone to a doctor to get checked, and she got some very shocking news. She was told that she had a brain tumor called Grade II Astrocytoma, and that she would only have 10 years to live.

Getting Immediate Treatment

The news was crushing, as much as it was surprising. Brittany was first of all, so young, so how could she have a brain tumor that would eventually end her life? In order to do what they could to help with her situation, Brittany underwent ‘a partial craniotomy and a partial resection of her temporal lobe’ that took over 8 hours, all in the hopes that they could slow things down. But sadly for Brittany and her loved ones, things were going to take a turn for the worst.
