Jairo Venegas shares his story about the day he found out he had glioblastoma/brain cancer. After visiting the doctor for a headache, Jairo got a CT scan and was shocked to find out that there was something abnormal in his brain. Just a week later, he was scheduled to have surgery. Through his experience, Jairo found that having a smile on his face, being patient and upbeat helped him a lot as he faced his diagnosis, surgery, and the struggle with temporary memory loss.

    Amazing story. I was diagnosed with the same thing in 2011 and have come out the other side, cancer free. Cancer is no longer a death sentence!!
