National Brain Tumor Awareness Month on Your Carolina TV

 Julie Houston was the March recipient of the Caring for the Carolinas award for raising awareness and sharing hope throughout the community.

 

Keith Houston, Julie’s husband and Joe Philpot shared their stories as long-term brain tumor survivors and the message was clear-”there is hope.” That is the motto of The Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke where both these men were treated. Many advances have been made against brain tumors recently and Duke has been the leading research institute in the news sharing their discoveries which extend survival rates of brain tumor patients.
