Beating the odds: Glioblastoma patient thriving 6 years after being told he had 6 months to live

John Bienvenu, a resident of Lafayette, Louisiana, has defied medical expectations and survived six years after being diagnosed with a fast-growing and aggressive brain cancer. Doctors had initially given him only a few months to live, but with unwavering determination and the support of his devoted family, he has beaten the odds. 

At just 28 years old, Bienvenu faced an uncertain future when surgeons rushed to remove a lemon-sized glioblastoma brain tumor, revealing it was stage 4. He thought that could be the end for him. 

"People usually live three to six months," Bienvenu said.
