Brent ’s Story

Site created on February 7, 2023

On January 31, 2023, after experiencing stroke-like symptoms, Brent Porter was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He had surgery to remove the “racket ball” sized mass on February 3, 2023. We received the final pathology report from Mayo on April 13, 2023. The final diagnosis is a diffuse pediatric-type grade 4 glioma. This page will keep you updated on our journey as we rely on the Lord to help us slay this giant. Please keep our family in your prayers.

One thing to note about the CaringBridge website: tributes on CaringBridge don’t go to the Porters, they go to CaringBridge. This GoFundMe is the main fundraiser that goes directly to Brent & Jaquie.

Journal entry by Jaquie Porter

I promised an update from last week’s MRI, but we didn’t get the confirmation from the doctor until this afternoon. He agreed with the radiologist that the images look stable compared to January’s results! We will continue with the chemo vacation until the next MRI and appointment in May. Brent will continue to wear Optune every day as well. He said he would rather wear that than take chemo. 

We are praising God that he can still stay off chemo, and praying that he will never need it again! Thank you for all your prayers in support of our family. We love all of you very much! 🩵
