## Resource

Amanda returns to the podcast with a callback update after her 20-month scan revealed a tiny recurrence. Her second craniotomy was scheduled for 2/3/2026...yesterday. Cody and Amanda discuss her declining a pre-surgery clinical trial, weighing expensive treatment options abroad, and the emotional and financial challenges of deciding next steps, while leaning on the Glioblastoma (GBM) community for support.
