6-12-14 A seizure started our journey to the Scripps La Jolla urgent care where an MRI showed a left frontal tumor. Surgery confirmed GBM 4 and told a few months of life. We transferred to UCSD and started chemo and radiation and a clinical trial after biomarkers were achieved. Unfortunately the necrosis and edema increased with each scan and the decadron was increased to control seizures side effects are horrible. Searching for a new hope and survival as 21 years of marriage is not enough! Healthy lifestyle continues. So many trials at UCLA and UCSD and considering another surgery. Learning by sharing with others and trying CBD oil. PRAYING FOR A MIRACLE!!!!
