Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most aggressive form of malignant brain tumor, is a devastating disease with no cure. Our goal in treating patients with GBM is to “strive for five,” meaning we attempt to keep you alive for five years. And while GBM impacts both men and women, diagnoses have been disproportionate between the sexes (one female is diagnosed for every 1.6 males diagnosed). Despite no new successful therapies in extending survival rates, researchers and clinicians remain optimistic about one day finding the magical cure.
I felt like I needed to do some glioblastoma training. People will often ask me,”How are you feeling?” I am fighting a very aggressive terminal disease called glioblastoma.
Along with dealing with a very aggressive cancer, I tested positive for covid, which is a bummer, and I fell twice! Didn’t hurt anything but my feelings.
