The monster rears its ugly head

Yesterday, I had my regular MRI. Today, the doctor's office made an unusual & unexpected call to inform me that there is a recurrence!



Understandably, both my wife and I are devastated by this bit of bad news even though as I mention in the Ignite Boulder talk, a recurrence is highly expected for a Glioblastoma patient. As of now, we know that the new lesion is about 2.5 cm wide/long/deep and is in the left parietal lobe. The original tumor was in the right temporal lobe.

We will know more about what the next steps are and what we can expect in the upcoming days/weeks/months when we meet with our Oncologist next Thursday.

For now, we will keep our hopes up and try to be positive.

And I am Stayin' Alive!
