Brain Cancer Treatments Need More Research!

It's been six months today since we lost Daddy to "The Beast". Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive form of primary brain cancer, few diagnosed with it survive more than a year or two. There are some exceptions, people who against the odds survive and thrive long beyond "the statistics". These people give all of us hope, and give us valuable insight into further research and trials.

Along our journey, I found numerous resources on the web that helped us understand what was going on and gave us advice, support, and hope. Here is a listing of some of those sites:



I will keep this blog open as a memorial to my dad, with the hope that through our journey someone else finds hope and support. If you are in a position to do so, please support the organizations behind the websites I have listed above, as it is through our support that the research will continue!
Below you will find a link to a video montage (click on the gray ribbon) prepared to promote a Golf event for Brain Tumor Awareness and fund raising for research. It's very moving, but if you can't watch in all you can fast forward to about 7:00 minutes to the last song:
