Overview
- Paige Suisted, 27, was diagnosed in April 2024 with stage‑four astrocytoma after weeks of CTs, MRIs and a brain biopsy.
- The mass pressed on nerves controlling her right side, producing numbness and weakness that made surgeons warn of a high paralysis risk.
- She avoided surgery and completed about a year of radiation and chemotherapy under close medical supervision.
- Recent MRIs show no visible tumor, and clinicians have described her case as a medical anomaly without declaring a cure.
- Doctors note only tissue examination could rule out microscopic disease, as she continues follow‑up care and steps into advocacy, including a Cancer Society ambassadorship.
