Group 3. Brittany Maynard was diagnosed with grade 2 astrocytoma (a form of brain cancer) in early 2014 and was initially treated with a partial resection of her temporal lobe. However, the cancer returned in April 2014, and she was subsequently diagnosed with grade 4 astrocytoma with a poor prognosis. Brittany moved from California to Oregon as California does not have a physician assisted suicide law. Oregon has the Death with Dignity law. Brittany reportedly ended her life in November 2014.
