**Sensitive story**

Last year, early April, I get a call from my dear friend Luke. He says he’s confused. Had a work mtg in front of 75 people. All the sudden couldn’t gather his thoughts, couldn’t speak. Had to leave abruptly. Super embarrassed and concerned, he says to me I think I had a panic attack. We talk about it. Talk to my wife. Few days go by and he gets to the Dr. has an MRI done.
BOOM! His world is rocked! Tells me that he has a large stage 4 aggressive #braincancer #glioblastoma tumor in his head about! 3 days later he has a surgical resection.
That was 13 months ago, 2 resections, 2 chemo and radiation stints, countless drugs, seizures, debilitations, along the way. Until this last Monday. Luke had passed away, RIP. He isn’t suffering anymore, thankfully. He was a fighter thru and thru. 48yrs young. #fuckcancer you took my dear friend!!!

The incredible Prof Richard Scolyer has just posted that the recurrence of glioblastoma has been significant and his prognosis is poor.

Such devastating news for the professor, his family and his close colleagues and friends.

He has, however, changed the world.

Begging bowl time again. Later this month, on Sunday 23rd March, I’ll be running the Sheffield Half Marathon.

Looking to raise money for the University of Liverpool’s Glioblastoma research program, in memory of Mum.

Glioblastoma, an aggressive and highly lethal cancer, produces cells that rapidly invade brain tissue, making it particularly difficult to treat. A new system for testing this cancerous cell invasion is an exciting breakthrough that may help discover new treatment options.

My #GOP, #FoxNews-watching, #COVID-addled parents aren’t doing well.

My dad has had COVID twice and my mom three times (that we know of).

My dad has a #GBM #Glioblastoma and doesn’t have much time left.

My mom, who got over COVID two weeks ago, fell from a ladder at work yesterday hanging decorations and broke 3 ribs and has a compression fracture of T12.

Post-COVID falls and dizziness are a thing and no one can convince me that this didn’t factor into falling.

Stay safe out there.

Today is Glioblastoma Awareness Day, which has the goal of educating people about the most common, complex, treatment-resistant and deadly type of brain cancer. Here's a story from MedicalNewsToday about a promising new treatment — an mRNA vaccine that could potentially retrain the body's immune system to attack and treat glioblastoma. A study on dogs with brain tumors published in the journal Cell earlier this year showed an increase in survival rates, and the scientists have now expanded their research to a small clinical trial on humans.
