Terminal Cancer Disappears: Woman Becomes Medical Anomaly
30 Nov
Summary
- Aggressive stage-four brain cancer tumor completely disappeared on scans.
- Doctors cannot confirm remission due to risks of further testing.
- Woman celebrates 27th birthday after initially given 18 months to live.

A Kiwi-born woman, Paige Suisted, initially diagnosed with aggressive stage-four astrocytoma and given just 18 months to live, has defied all odds. A year into grueling chemotherapy and radiation, scans revealed her golf-ball-sized brain tumor had completely vanished, a development her doctors are calling a medical anomaly. Despite this astonishing disappearance, she remains in medical limbo as further risky procedures are needed for official remission confirmation.
Suisted's ordeal began with numb fingers in April 2024, progressing to paralysis on her right side. After multiple dismissed symptoms, an ambulance brought her to the hospital where tests revealed stage-three astrocytoma, later confirmed as terminal stage-four. The tumor's dangerous location made surgery too risky, leaving aggressive treatment as the only option. She bravely endured severe side effects from chemotherapy and radiation.
Now 27, Suisted lives with residual right-side weakness but is actively rebuilding her life. She has become an ambassador for the Cancer Society, is developing a YouTube channel to help others, and recently celebrated her birthday in Europe. Though her cancer's ultimate fate is unconfirmed, her story offers hope and inspiration to those facing similar battles.
