/5the original surgery spot so i'll remain just as good looking as i have always been. surgery day is April 20. Hanging in St. Augustine with whole family this weekend which has been awesome. Prayers for #M4H #GBM #rGBM 0#PUPS 20#SUPS love you all!

/4it. it is most likely also cancer, but this way we will know for sure. it is in the corpus collusum, right in the middle of the brain. the standard risks apply in the surgery, most prominently stroke. but our surgeon is excellent and seemed very confident. will be going in thru

/1long overdue update! we did the next MRI to see how the new chemo worked. It really didnt do anything. You can see from the attached picture where we are at. That little spot back in Jan had grown to the next one, and then if you look at the last one it is bigger.

/6basically works on you for 6-8 wks. So this is technically a "recurrence", with a chance that it still "may" be a pseudo progression. Next MRI at end of Mar. Need this to work as a surgery where this spot is is complicated and would likely impact me. #GBM #rGBM #25pups #M4H

/5again. Good news is they think I will respond well to it. Also, I responded well with fairly mild side effects, fatigue and headaches, but avoiding the nausea they warned about. Also got my first bloodwork back and the counts look pretty good. Amazing that you take once and it

/1 Update time! after traveling to #CapeTown in Nov, I was lucky enough to contract some type of intestinal virus which lasted for 2 weeks, where I missed Thanksgiving completely, and had to push off the Dec. chemo session by a week, as well as the MRI.

/1 We are in the grind it out phase of this battle,finished chemo week last week with the normal fatigue and nausea, which lingers and even grows into the following (this) week. Wed. the following week things get better so today looks good- especially because @MariaGreen628 and I
