I had brain #MRI scan last Thursday looking for recurrent #glioblastoma (&/or treatment complications). I found out yesterday that there is still no sign of recurrence. I couldn’t be happier!!!!!

Thank you to the fabulous team looking after me so well especially my wife Katie &

Massive congrats Rebecca & Jordan on receiving your PhDs y’day for your excellent scientific research. Well done & thanks Dr Erin Shanahan & Inês Pires da Silva, respectively for your superb supervision & support as well as whole Melanoma Institute Australia #melanoma translation research team

Last weekend was 1st time I’d been to a Sydney Swans #AFL match since my #glioblastoma came to light almost a year ago. It was a brilliant & fun game against #GWS Giants. Swans now top of the AFL ladder after their victory!

As a #Tassie boy, AFL is in our family blood so it was

I was delighted to co-write a recently released textbook on “Melanocytic Tumors of the Skin” with my dear friend & collaborator of almost 20 years Dr Klaus Busam MD.

Klaus has worked in New York City at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) throughout this time &

On Monday, I had further experimental treatment for my “brain cancer” #glioblastoma . This was delayed because there had been concerns about some of my blood test results. As a consequence, until recently, I hadn’t been exercising. But I am continuing to feel well. Thank you

With a key focus on Australia's national cancer, it will help get us all closer to our goal of zero deaths from melanoma & lowering burden of this disease.” -Professor Georgina Long AO AO & Professor Richard Scolyer AO

Dose 8 (of 10) personalised anticancer vaccine administered last week as experimental treatment for my #glioblastoma . Sore arm for a couple of days but otherwise feeling good. Thanks Professor Georgina Long AO, @mariag20057502 & Melanoma Institute Australia team for organising & delivering! I hope everyone

Quick up date. Side effects of #immunotherapy settling well. My bilateral #pneumonia didn’t give me many symptoms & I managed to ride 3 days of Tour De Cure without any dramas (& had a great time). CT chest yesterday remarkably showed it has returned to normal/no residual

Whilst things have been going astonishing well for me & I’m still blown away by no recurrence of my #glioblastoma on my #MRI scan last Monday 10 months post diagnosis, it ain’t all plain sailing.

I’ve had a few issues that seem likely to be related to my combination

Our thoughts are with the Princess of Wales & family following announcement of her cancer diagnosis. Cancer can & does impact anyone. We wish her well for her recovery & also continue to extend our best wishes to the King on his treatment journey.

Fantastic news!!!!!!

Amazingly, my latest MRI brain scan shows no recurrence 10 months since my #glioblastoma presented with a seizure in #Poland . Median time to recurrence is 6 months.

I’m extremely hopeful that the novel #neoadjuvant combination #immunotherapy I’ve had &

I had my latest MRI scan today looking for recurrent tumour (or complications of treatment). I expect I’ll receive the results later this week.

Incredibly it is now about 10 months since my supposedly incurable #glioblastoma was initially detected when I had a seizure in

Fabulous start to Tour De Cure last night & today. Everyone involved is incredibly committed to raising funds for #cancer #research . It was a great privilege to share with everyone the amazing research we are performing at Melanoma Institute Australia & how it is improving patient outcomes.
