Proof that
courage and
science change
everything.
Becca thought they were migraines. Until they
weren’t. Then at 37,, she was diagnosed
g
with stage
g 4
brain cancer, glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive
cancers imaginable. In an instant, everything changed.
At University of Maryland Medical System, where
teaching and discovery shape our care, her treatment
began with specialists who pursue every possible
option when the stakes are high.
After surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, Becca
was offered something more: access to a focused
ultrasound clinical trial. This first-in-the-nation
approach allowed her team to temporarily open the
blood-brain barrier, allowing chemotherapy to reach
its target more effectively.
Today, Becca is traveling, working out and back to
living her life. Because when expertise, innovation and
access come together — it changes what’s possible.
