After 23 yrs surviving GBM (including a recurrence in 1998 and also a Breast Cancer diagnosis in 2004), Jeanne's friend Cheryl passed in Oct 2020 during the covid pandemic. A brain MRI taken the month before was clear: she was still brain tumor free. She was a remarkable survivor who touched the lives of many of our clients with her amazing story and indomitable spirit.

David Bailey was a hero in the brain tumor community (a friend though, not a client). His remarkable survival story, inspirational songwriting, and vocal stylings evoking Cat Stevens and Jim Croce deserve to be widely known.

Hi, Just want to let you all know that mum had her results from her MRI yesterday (after her 6 weeks of radiation and following your program) and the doctors have said that she is cancer-free. We are all in shock just as much as the doctors. I truly believe that this outcome has a lot to do with you guys and the program that you had her on. Thank you very very much. Thank you so so much. We are all in shock really more than anything!!! We truly believe that we would not have had this outcome if it wasn't for the help from all of you. —Sarah, daughter of client with GBM IV brain tumor

In August 2012, Michael woke up with the worst headache of his life and made his way over to Northwestern Memorial Hospital where he was diagnosed with a brain tumor, and had surgery to remove it. The tumor was determined to be a glioblastoma (GBM), one of the most aggressive and deadliest types of brain cancer. The average survival is only 14-17 months. The surgery was followed up by chemotherapy, radiation, and a clinical trial for two years. Despite a recurrence in November of 2015 that required an additional year of chemotherapy and more radiation, the tumor was successfully kept mostly stable for more than 5 years. Michael's overall health has been quite good, despite the loss of his left peripheral vision, which prevents him from being able to drive. He has made changes to his diet and adopted an impressive swimming exercise schedule to try to boost his immune system.

Fast-forward 5 years, and unfortunately, Michael has had another significant recurrence in June 2017, which required a second brain surgery in October 2017. In early January 2018, an MRI scan indicated further tumor growth. He is taking a combination of drugs, including a targeted therapy normally used for metastatic breast cancer and an immunotherapy typically used for lung cancer. His scan in early February was inconclusive, due to swelling in his brain. If his current medications are not effective soon, remaining options are very limited - and his doctor stated that "... if nothing works then this can take his life in 6-9 months."

Michael is hoping to enroll in a drug trial of DCVax-L (dendritic cell vaccine) in the UK or in Germany. It is extremely expensive, with out-of-pocket costs likely reaching hundreds of thousands of dollars. Their family will need to travel and stay over for several weeks at a time so that Michael can receive the treatment. Its effectiveness is not guaranteed, but his doctor is optimistic that it may help. The hope is that this vaccine will buy more time for Michael to be with his family.

Michael was scheduled for his third surgery on March 9, 2018. The doctors were hoping to debulk the tumor that continues to grow, as well as reduce the swelling in the brain, while also buying him some more time until he can get into the DC Vax-L trial or a new treatment is discovered. Michael has had to postpone surgery as his body recovers from the effects of the steroids on his body. He has started on Avastin in the hopes that it will alleviate some of the pain he is experiencing.

As those of you reading this surely know, Michael is a great friend, a loving husband to Corie, and a wonderful father to his two young daughters. His family and all of us desperately want him to continue to live on as long as possible! There is no cure for glioblastoma and all we are hoping for is a chance for more time. The Yutkin family motto is "Glass Half Full" and they continue to live their lives appreciating every moment they have together.

Michael and Corie have worked tirelessly advocating for brain tumor awareness and research through the National Brain Tumor Society. Over the last 5 years, they have raised over $70,000 for the National Brain Tumor Society and have even gone to Washington D.C. to lobby members of Congress for increased funding for brain tumor research. Though it is difficult for the Yutkins to ask for our help, they know that they will need the financial and emotional support of their friends and family to pull through this challenge. As their friends, we ask you to please contribute as generously as you can, in whatever ways you can.

Please see the Donate page to make a contribution. Michael's life may depend on it, and his friends and family will be extremely grateful!

Thank you for your support!!!
