According to a GoFundme Braman, founded for Braman’s ‘Healing Journey’, returned in June after undergoing Car-T-cell therapy in Seattle.

“Bryan has had to undergo various surgical procedures,” is an update from June of the Gofundme. “The biggest problem is that Bryan was unable to recover from the procedures because of his reduced immunity because of all these treatments. By the time he could recover so that he could continue with the chemo, the cancer has grown [exponentially] Faster and now grows around his vital organs. ‘

The updated continued and said that doctors were worried because the chemo treatments of Braman were “very limited” and other treatment options did not work against the cancer.

“But Bryan did not give it up,” is the update. “He investigates other trial treatment programs and is determined to never give up.”
