My mother’s terminal brain tumor symptoms were dismissed as postpartum anxiety

A mother has told how her terminal brain tumor symptoms were dismissed as postpartum anxiety. Kelsey Stokstad, 31, got pins and needles in her arm while cleaning windows and went to the hospital but refused a CT scan because she couldn’t afford it. Doctors blamed her symptoms on postpartum anxiety, but when the tingling spread to her leg and ended in a seizure, she was tested. The content creator was diagnosed with a grade three astrocytoma tumor in her brain and given two to five years to live. But after 33 rounds of radiotherapy and 12 rounds of chemotherapy, she was given a lifeline when she became eligible to test a new drug. Vorasidenib, or Voranigo, specifically treats brain and spine cancer and will make her condition manageable.
