Patient Spotlight: The Hollensbe Family’s Journey with Braelyn
Houston, TX – July 2025 — The Burzynski Clinic is honored to share the story of Braelyn, a 17-year-old from the Hollensbe family, who has been receiving care at our facility as part of her treatment plan for glioblastoma, an aggressive brain tumor.
In July 2023, Braelyn began experiencing unusual symptoms while at church camp. Shortly after, she was diagnosed and referred to leading hospitals, where her family was presented with a limited set of conventional treatment options. Determined to explore every possibility, the Hollensbes conducted weeks of research and prayer, which led them to the Burzynski Clinic.
Braelyn underwent surgery in August 2023 and began her individualized treatment program at the Clinic in October 2023. According to her family, she has experienced stable scans over the past nine months.
While the family shares that they have found renewed hope, they also note that their chosen treatment path is not covered by insurance, creating a significant financial burden. They have launched a community campaign to raise awareness, request prayers, and invite support.
