GBM (Glioblastoma mutiforme) is the "most common primary brain tumor" and the most aggressive form of brain cancer.

Prognosis according to statistics are on average 6 months to one year.

The books say this disease primarily effects adults over the age of 50.

"younger patients tend to get a better prognosis than the elderly."

Young Adults Surviving Glioblastoma (YASG) was formed because people under the age of 50 are effected by GBM.

We are here to inspire those young adults in their teens, twenties, and thirties,(and beyond) that do get diagnosed with this disease. By sharing our stories I feel we can be a source of helpful information to those recently diagnosed with GBM.

I know that the one thing I wanted after leaving the hospital with this diagnosis was somebody close to my age, (25 at diagnosis) to talk to who was going through the same disease. I jumped on the internet, looked at my disease and found nothing but negative statistics and pessimistic outlooks. YASG is here in the name of hope and optimism.

After reading our profiles please feel free to contact us via email if you are in the same boat, have questions, or need a friend.

We're here, alive, breathing and
surviving GBM!
