Not a day goes by when I don’t think of my beloved brother, whom we lost to #GBM 25 yrs ago, when he was only 18. We desperately need more research + new treatments so we can get rid of this scourge once and for all #GlioblastomaAwarenessDay OurBrainBank #btsm

Fascinating reporting from Christopher Cox New York Magazine. And great distillation of complicated science into easy, layman terms - esp for brain cancer patients like myself. Love to see promising, new treatments come up, after decades of only death & devastation. OurBrainBank #btsm
