After being diagnosed with a glioblastoma brain tumor in 2008, Courtney’s prognosis was not good. A referral to Johns Hopkins neuro-oncologist Karisa Schreck and neurosurgeon Jon Weingart changed the course of her illness. They identified the tumor as having a specific mutation in the BRAF gene, and they used a combination of surgery, conventional chemoradiation and targeted therapy to reduce its size and then keep the cancer in remission. Courtney is incredibly thankful to be able to enjoy life as a wife and a mother — and to raise chickens. #Glioblastoma #BRAFgene #JohnsHopkins
