Amazing. . .simply amazing work. In October my husband was diagnosed with Stage IV Giant Cell Glioblastoma. We were seen by a neurosurgeon (Dr. Steven Chang) the very next day, placed on steroids for a week to shrink the tumor/inflammation. One week later they removed as much of the tumor as they could (it was wrapped around several structures in his brain so they couldn't get it all). After removing 25% of his brain he still had all of his faculties and was (with the exception of the loss of ability to read and write) his own self. Our on-going joke was that they took his brain but left his mind intact. Because Glioblastoma is a terminal disease my husband, ultimately, chose to go on hospice. For the next 5 months we (he) did great; again no loss of cognitive ability/facility except the expected expressive aphasia and some minor memory issues. Up until 5 days before he died on March 19th we had the most wonderful times together and were able to reaffirm our love and build memories to tide me through the rest of my life without him :*( YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!! Thank you!
