On August 10, after unusual headaches followed by increasingly concerning confusion and memory problems, Carly was taken to the emergency room. Imaging unexpectedly revealed a mass in her brain.
Within days, Carly was hospitalized, underwent extensive testing and brain biopsy surgery.
The diagnosis was devastating: Grade 4 glioblastoma (GBM), an aggressive form of brain cancer.
For those of us at F45, Carly, Brandon, and their sweet kiddos have become so much more than members of our community, they’ve become family. Hearing this news has been heartbreaking, but this diagnosis is devastating, not hopeless. ❤️
