this beast has a name...

Glioblastomas Multiforme. 

Mine is a grade 4 (i.e. - very aggressive)

You may need a small instructional guide on how to pronounce this beast. I found a good pronunciation in "A Patient's Guide to Understanding Brain Tumors" a small publication produced by Merck, a pharmaceutical company. 

(glee-oh-blass-TOE-mahs mull-tee-FOR-may)    

GBM for short...

30 year old man + Grade 4 Brain Tumor = Confused Cancer Patient

so what's next?

  1. It's great that you have hope. Confusion is just a stage, but you'll get through.
