'Fight back': Cancer survivor thrives after three brain surgeries, inspiring others with his will to live

Will Pearce, a brain cancer survivor from Greenville, South Carolina, underwent three life-saving surgeries between 2018 and March 19, 2025, performed by neurosurgeon Dr. Mitchell Berger in San Francisco.
His diagnosis began during college when headaches led to discovering an inoperable brain tumor, and he was told chemotherapy would give him less than ten years to live.
Dr. Berger, chair of Neurological Surgery at UCSF, removed tumor growth near Pearce's spine, with the latest surgery addressing tumor tissue within one millimeter of causing paralysis.
Pearce explained that people often experience deeply depressed periods, but by holding onto hope, they can begin to find joy in life despite ongoing difficulties.
Pearce continues to embrace survivorship by living fully, inspiring others to fight back, accept their conditions, and use faith and support to encourage resilience.
