Lincoln mother battles stage four brain cancer

Logan Biltoft was at work when she had a seizure and was sent to St. Elizabeth’s for an MRI and then a brain biopsy.

Two weeks after her first seizure, the mother of a one-year-old was diagnosed with stage four brain cancer. 

“It couldn’t be real because I was young, and I just kept thinking of my son,” Logan Biltoft recalls. 

Logan Biltoft is only 23-years-old. 

“When she had her seizure, I kept thinking it was because she was overly tired because she had been working so hard,” Jill Meile, Logan’s mom, said. 

It wasn’t just because she was over-worked though. 

The MRI showed a mass on the right side of her brain, and when the biopsy results came back, cancerous cells were found. 

When she heard the results, scary thoughts instantly ran through her head, thoughts normally associated with cancer. She quickly thought of her 13-month-old son though. 

“I want to walk him to kindergarten, I want to be there for all the milestones, anything that ever goes wrong, I want him to come to mommy, and so I have to be here in order to make that happen,” she said. 

Biltoft started chemotherapy, and is having bad headaches and is pretty nauseous. She had to stop working, so she started a GoFundMe page. 

“Having other people out there that donate their money that they’ve worked so hard for to me, and they don’t even know me, that means so much,” Biltoft said.
