But one day, she noticed that the fingers on her right hand were starting to go numb \u2014 and it didn\u2019t take long before her arms and legs followed suit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cMy fingers kind of just stopped working,\u201d Suisted, 27, recalled to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/lifestyle\/fitness-wellbeing\/article-15322615\/brain-tumour-disappears-Paige-Suisted.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Daily Mail Australia;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Daily Mail Australia<\/a>, noting that she received differing opinions from multiple doctors. \u201cOne said I had a stroke, but didn&#8217;t even admit me to the hospital. Another said I had Raynaud&#8217;s disease, and one just put me in a sling. They all told me something completely different.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Getty Hospital (stock image)\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/422504886c42558c59cddbc0d2135e96.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Getty<\/p>\n<p> Hospital (stock image)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Never miss a story \u2014 sign up for<a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/people-news-daily-newsletter-sign-up-8692701\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:PEOPLE&#039;s free daily newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"> PEOPLE&#8217;s free daily newsletter<\/a> to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer\u200b\u200b, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Having grown increasingly desperate, Suisted eventually called an ambulance and pleaded to be admitted to a hospital for proper testing. After weeks of CT scans, MRIs and a brain biopsy, she was diagnosed with stage-four astrocytoma, a terminal cancer often found in children.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cWhen they told me, I think I screamed and cried,\u201d she told Daily Mail Australia. \u201cIt was so hard to hear. I have a younger brother and sister, and all I could think about was wanting to see them grow up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">After discovering that the golf ball-sized tumor in her brain was pushing on the nerves controlling the right side of her body, doctors determined that surgical removal would be too risky.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIt was a 50\u201350 chance it would work, and a 50\u201350 chance I&#8217;d be fully paralyzed, most likely not able to talk or walk again,\u201d Suisted recalled to the outlet. \u201cSo, we decided we weren&#8217;t doing that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Suisted immediately began to undergo radiation and chemotherapy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThe terminal diagnosis broke a lot of us down. I thought I was going to die and there&#8217;s nothing anyone can do,\u201d she recalled. \u201cAt the start of chemo, it really shot me down. I wasn&#8217;t even aware of what was going on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">After a year of treatment and debilitating symptoms, many of which she documented on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/journey_through_cancer\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Instagram;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Instagram<\/a>, doctors were shocked to find that, one day, Suisted&#8217;s brain scans appeared to come back clear.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIn my last few scans, there&#8217;s been nothing there,\u201d she told Daily Mail Australia. \u201cThis massive golf ball in my brain \u2026 we can&#8217;t see any of it on the MRIs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While doctors can\u2019t officially declare Suisted cancer-free without performing surgery to make sure there aren&#8217;t any remaining cancer cells, multiple professional opinions have deemed her a \u201cmedical anomaly,\u201d and she has since been on a journey to regain her independence and confidence while advocating for others facing the disease.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThey haven&#8217;t had a cancer patient like this,\u201d she said of her doctors. \u201cThey don&#8217;t even understand it themselves. I just live my life every day now, and I want to help other people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Read the original article on <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/woman-27-diagnosed-with-terminal-brain-cancer-until-doctors-found-something-incredible-11859020\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:People;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">People<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEED TO KNOW Paige Suisted, 27, was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer after the right side of her&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":171600,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[101461,163,521,85,46,101463,101462],"class_list":{"0":"post-171599","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-healthcare","8":"tag-daily-mail-australia","9":"tag-health","10":"tag-healthcare","11":"tag-il","12":"tag-israel","13":"tag-paige-suisted","14":"tag-terminal-cancer"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=171599"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171599\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/171600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=171599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=171599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
