We are inspired by Ashley’s positivity as she fights glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), an aggressive form of braincancer, with an effective treatment plan: “My treatment plan has allowed me to continue to enjoy life.” BrainCancerAwareness
One of my sons gets his hair from me. It’s long, golden, and beautiful. These days, instead of rockin’ long locks, I have a different look. I shave my head, so I can I wear a portable device that looks like a cap to help with my glioblastoma multiforme , which is an aggressive type of brain cancer, which I refer to as a bully.I have been standing up to this bully for about 3 years. I was originally diagnosed with GBM several months after sustaining a concussion from a car accident.
Some people choose to wear a wig over the device pads on their head, but I choose to rock the look, sans wig. I’ve come to love my device and even named it “Hope.”My treatment plan has allowed me to continue to enjoy life. I am grateful for the days I get to cheer on the Alabama Crimson Tide and Dallas Cowboys. Each day I spend with my four children is a blessing. I cherish each Rotary Club meeting I attend. I am still very active in my church, and I fill my life with good things and positivity.
