Fighting Stage 4 Brain Cancer - An Astrocytoma

Hi, my name is Dale Burden and my wife is Alejandra Burden. I was diagnosed with a Stage 4 GBM brain tumor. Now life has been turned upside down. I was diagnosed with an Astrocytoma Prognosis. By the book, I have a typical 12-18 months to live. We will be battling this with everything we have. God's plan and timeline are different than science.

Grade 4 – Glioblastoma

A grade 4 astrocytoma is called a glioblastoma. The average survival time is 12-18 months – only 25% of glioblastoma patients survive more than one year, and only 5% of patients survive more than five years.

Going forward I will have Chemotherapy for 5 days each month and regular MRI's as needed.

The funds we now need to help with living expenses, and medical expenses, activities, wishes. We are working with what we know now and will adjust our additional needs accordingly.
