Such a precious couple. I did see where Brandon passed away in 2021 to be with the Lord he so faithfully served. May you and your family be immeasurably blessed and May Brandon’s legacy of faith live on!
You are unbelievably brave to document your journey. I want so badly for you to beat the odds Brandon. Prayers continue for you, Carrie, and your children. Your open and honest words about your faith and love for God is heartening. May God bless you. 🙏🏼
I have been praying and watching for your update. So glad you have good news. My husband is 15 months into his GBM journey and we just had a clear scan! God is good!
You look amazing and you sound strong! I would never have believed you had a brain surgery done a day ago! I will continue to lift you and your family in prayer🙏 GOD has brought you this far, and I am sure he will continue to hold you close to HIM. I'm glad you found a healthcare provider you are pleased with and that it was here in our area! Blessings of healing and prayers for restoration of your health/vision!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I know your videos are helping other people that are going through the same thing. I will continue to pray that God will heal you completely. Very glad to see you doing better.
Thank you Brandon & Carrie for sharing your experience with this journey, My husband got diagnosed with GBM 2 weeks ago & seeing your videos will give me some idea of whats to come. I know every case is different , but I won't be blind sided sort of. Thanks again & much blessings & prayers.
So happy your surgery went well! You look amazing for just having brain surgery! At the beginning of the video I was thinking oh he is going to tell us he is getting ready for surgery. I was surprised when you said you just had it seeing how well you are. Wow amazing!! Thank God everything went awesome!! Side note I was hoping you would have showed us the incision but Turing your head but you never did.
I really feel for you and thanks for sharing this journey. You have best surgeon in Jesus Christ. Keep being grateful and positive. My wife was who is 58 was suffering for mild and occasional migraines for about 4 years. Beginning on January 2020 they got intense. On 4/10/2020 she was losing motion on the opposite side of the headache and was seeing double. An MRI result came + for GBSM grade 4. They day before the surgery she was so bad she could not stand on her own. Less than 24 hrs after the surgery and tons of prayers she walked with assistance. She has undergone her Chemo and radiation, now undergoing her 2nd round of Chemo. Only side affects is she has permanent lost of around 60 percent of her hair because of the radiation and the nausea of the Chemo side affect. She has also lost left side peripheral eye vision, which could be permanent. She had her first MRI after the Radiation and so far it was good but like Brandon they found a white spot on the same side where the tumor was removed. They mentioned that this could be because of the inflammation or it could be another tumor that is growing just after 4 months after the surgery. Will be going to have another MRI in 3 weeks to see if this has grown or not. We are live in the Island of Puerto Rico and the appointments are 2 hrs away and not many options on the Island. Going to the US is an option but then lodging would be a problem so we rather stay on the Island with only a long ride and know that we will be in the confort of our home and love ones in a short time. So we have to continue to fight this out and put this out in the hands and mercy of the lord. Every day has its challenges but we are grateful that we are together and strong in the lord. We pray for you and all of those that are going thru tough times and may the lord shine thru you and give you strength to get thru this. God Bless and and stay blessed.
You look great I’m going through the same, now next month I’ll be using optune for the brain I have gleoblastoma 4. You give me motivations you look great and healthy
Wow you look great Brandon.. Hard to believe you just had brain surgery. Hope you have a speedy recovery and good health in the future.Take care Brandon & Carrie.
Hello, Carrie here. Let me first say that I was chewing gum because I didn’t want to eat late at night. Secondly, any negative comment about me chewing gum or whatever, will be deleted. I don’t need anyone’s negativity during this time.
Hi Carrie I have come across your life story and watched your journey with your loving husband which I know he has passed over two years ago my condolences to you and your children and your families you are one strong couple and lady to manage 10 kids as well as support your husband on this journey which was not easyI come from a family of 10 myself may the lord bless you and your family🙏💖🙏💖🙏
My brother was diagnosed with Stage 4 Kidney Cancer in 2009. I went to every appointment, drove him to every appointment, listened to EVERYTHING they had to say, which was ridiculously long, and then we would leave and do a repeat the next day. It was CRAZY!
Brandon and Carrie, praying for you🙏 My husband John was diagnosed with GBM on 5/2/20. He had surgery, did radiation and immunotherapy, started Chemo, Temodor, this month and now going to do Optune starting next week. Stay strong, take life one day at a time. Isaiah 41:10
I am from the Land of Israel and I pray for you that God will protect you and that you will defeat this damn disease..my father had it in a place that cannot be operated on.Be strong and your wife will be strong..we are with you and embrace from afar.
In the end, all I cared about was his pain level. He would not be honest, and it took me, his older sister, to scream like a lunatic to get him on the proper Opioids. They only listened to me because his PET scans, and a kidney surgery, pretty much matched up to my anger. My brother, from what he said to me, was uncomfortable, and he was telling the doctors he was experiencing *little pain but not severe*. He actually had to sign a DNR to get in a hospice…just to get the maximum pain medication to make him comfortable. This is my issue with our medical system…you have to SIGN YOUR LIFE AWAY TO BE PAIN FREE UNTIL YOU DIE? Ugh.makes me sick, yet my dog, who is dying of cancer ( just found out), can get ANY MEDICATION I NEED TO ORDER.I was calling the VET, thinking I had to *prove* she was suffering in order to get a refill, nope, no questions asked. My dog was refilled instantly, no wait, nothing, why can’t we treat dying humans the same way ?
I just saw from Harvard radiologist oncologist he showed some pictures and it was so small (Tumor)and he told the gal I believe and then he told her to wait it was over a year you could not believe how gigantic this became in a year and then she died almost immediately And I think that she should have sued them because they made like it was nothing and they didn't see it on the MRI or they completely misjudged it and told her to wait a year for another scan and by then it was way too late for surgery or anything so I understand exactly what your wife is talking about that it won't be seen on the MRI they should know that already these oncologist

Talk to your doctor about the NovaCare Optune system. I have GBM4 as well. My doctor put me on Optune recently. It’s easy to manage. I love it

I watched you for awhile then..life , My daughter passed Aug. 3. Prayers to you and your family
I am so sorry for your loss. I will keep you in my prayers.
I hope the steroids reduce the swelling and help the optic nerves.
Are the seizures completely eliminated? You look great. 🙏🙏
I had one focal seizure a couple weeks back, but that was the first in quite a while.

My sweet Carrie you go right ahead and chew your gum , we have no right to say any thing about that, we love you Carrie.
Yes Carrie chew your gum but please no bubbles!! Please!! 😮
Honey you chew gum if you want and blow bubbles, that’s fine👍💕
I hate people chewing gum. Looks like a cow
But with something so serious as this it could have been spit out prior also .
Especially when smacking and popping!
You are chewing gu how rude
Your wife blowing bubbles and cracking her gum while you are telling us your story was kinda unnecessary and rude. Sorry,
So true…. Odd behavior.
