After nearly a decade of mini seizures, Stefanie Scrivens was diagnosed with grade 2 oligodendroglioma, a rare brain tumour, at just 20 years old. She was one of the first at our hospital to benefit from a new treatment method to increase her chance of survival, including two complex, 8-hour awake surgeries, by Dr. John Sinclair and his team. Eleven years later, her latest scans show there are no signs of cancer. Could this be a cure for oligodendroglioma?
