He seemed unusually tired and complained of persistent headaches, eventually cutting short a camping trip he loved.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"317\" data-end=\"631\">An MRI on June 24 revealed a large brain mass, and within hours Brody was admitted to Children\u2019s Hospital Colorado. Days later, doctors confirmed he had diffuse midline glioma H3K27M \u2014 one of the most aggressive and inoperable brain cancers. With treatment, he was given 6\u20139 months to live; without it, just three.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"633\" data-end=\"878\">Brody underwent brain surgery, radiation, alternative therapies, and a clinical trial that injected medication directly into his brain. Despite every effort, the cancer spread, and he passed away in March 2021, just eight months after diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"880\" data-end=\"1036\">Even as his condition worsened, Brody showed remarkable courage. After learning the cancer had spread, he told his mother, \u201cI really thought I had it, Mom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1038\" data-end=\"1296\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">To honor his legacy, his family founded the Brody Huber Foundation to support pediatric brain cancer research. They have raised tens of thousands of dollars to help other children access life-saving trials, determined to spare families the pain they endured.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><iframe id=\"instagram-embed-1\" class=\"instagram-media instagram-media-rendered\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DCc3bKTuXvb\/embed\/captioned\/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=1400&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fen.newsner.com&amp;rp=%2Fnews%2Fteen-dies-8-months-after-worst-cancer-diagnosis-mom-reveals-early-warning-sign%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwY2xjawPGCNZleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFEVWZXbWltNElXSldLckFpc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHg7sfspen#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A1931.3999999761581%7D\" height=\"1329\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-instgrm-payload-id=\"instagram-media-payload-1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brody Huber was an adventurous, athletic 13-year-old when subtle changes began to worry his parents in June 2020.
