NYC man's story of survival for Glioblastoma Awareness Day 

My lil baby sister is diagnosed with Glioblastoma, she will never give up. Please pray for me too🙏

I have been diagnosed with this horrible cancer. I'm on day 5 with chemo and radiation. I'm terribly scared. Please 🙏 for me. Thank you Michael for encouraging me.

My young nephew passed from the same cancer. Multiple brain surgeries and chemo extended his life a few years, he only had weeks left at the time of diagnosis. Unfortunately these tumors are very aggressive and usually grow back. I pray they find a cure soon. It's a devastating diagnosis.

Michael Anderson passed away June 9, 2024 after a courageous three and a half year battle with Glioblastoma. He was clearly a very strong, loved, and cherished man by his family and loved ones. I wish Michael had more time here, but thankful to this wonderful doctor for helping as much as she could. I'm praying for his wife and family. Rest in Peace Michael ❤ you fought the good fight. Thank you for your service to your community as a hardworking NYC police officer

I am going through this now. It’s very hard to see your whole life just vanish like that. luckily i am still of sound mind and i can reason but the future is looking scary. I hope and pray for a cure. I must remain optimistic. My faith and family is all i have. Join me in prayer for all those affected by this terrible sickness.

Blessings to Michael Anderson and, his family. May he get back on his feet and, feel better. I love Mount Sinai Hospital. You get nothing but, the best treatment there. Bless the doctor too and, NEVER GIVE UP!❤️‍🩹

This is not representative of GBM (stage 4 glioblastoma) for individuals. Everyone is so different. The timelines are different (I’m 2 years and counting). The side effects are different (I have few physical defects). But the common factor is that after all these years, there is no cure irrespective of where the tumour is located. Even so, this death sentence hanging over us does not necessarily mean the end of living a meaningful life. Unfortunately some will succumb quite quickly, but those newly diagnosed need to understand that it isn’t the end until treatment fails, and no one can or should put a timeline on that. The goal is to stay as physically and mentally fit, and to continue to live without fear.

Ask about DCVax-L, a novel glioblastoma cancer vaccine that recently showed in a peer reviewed phase 3 clinical trial statistically significant improvements (the first in DECADES) for both newly diagnosed and recurrent glioblastoma. We are not living in the stone age of chemotherapy and radiotherapy anymore. Best of luck to patients.

My husband was just diagnosed and yes we will keep fighting 🙏

My husband was diagnosed with glioblastoma January of this year at 30 years old. They gave him 6 months to a year. His tumor was the size of a walnut. They said he would possibly lose his vision, couldnt drive, and couldnt work anymore. He was out of the hospital within 4 days after surgery. He has underwent 11 of the 12 cycles of chemotherapy with the 6 weeks of radiation a month after surgery. So far, no regrowth after 9 months. He has beaten every odd so far, he has made doctors jaws drop, he is 100% my superhero. Im sharing this story for those who are just going through it, are going through it, and have gone through it. My advice with this. Trust in God because this was him. My husbands radial oncologist said this was God. This all started because my husband had a sinus infection that wouldnt clear up. He then got so dizzy he couldnt walk. It took 3 visits from our primary care doctor and his work doctor found it for us. If something feels off, get it checked out. Anyone who deals with this cancer or is going through it with a loved one. Dont feed the cancer. Physically and mentally. Fight for your life that you want to live. ❤

I'm from Philippines my father died when he diagnosed glioblastoma

GBM4 here as well . Thankfully still going strong after 2,5 Years... Yes! Don't give up! Breathe, live today 🌹

My father 78 yrs old was diagnosed with glioblastoma. In 4 months after surgery, radiation and chemo now he is barely able to stand or walk on his own. I can see psin in his eyes and fear that he is not going to be there for long. Sometimes i feel end is very near but he keeps on fighting.

Please understand that not glioblastoma are operable. My dad passed away in June after 22 months battling. I was always wondering why he had no side effects from the chemo turns out it was because it was not working for on him. Eventually we settled for hospice at home and he passed away peacefully like he wanted too.

It's been around for so many years and yet no one knows how it comes about or how to prevent it. It seems like the number of people developing glioblastomas is on the rise. This is completely horrific.

My son passed from this horrific disease. May the Lord be with those that are going through this currently. My son’s tumor was inoperable. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

My son had surgery got the whole tumor out . Now going under radiation & chemo pill told at first low grade two then went to aggressive 4. Oncologist said looks like 2. The first time this hospital did not send out labs but did them themselves. I never felt my son was a 4 & we still are not told the truth but go ahead with treatment or not? Too many ifs not enough positive answers. We need this Dr at Mount Sinai.

This report leaves us in the limbo what makes the so much needed difference between Michael and all the others that die. All neurosurgeons try that balance and use radiation and chemo. So what lets the doctor say, he even may be cancer-free forever, given that glioblastomas always come back?

Just got diagnosed with it yesterday january 6 2023. So scarry but at the same time i never felt that energetic to fight. How do u prepare mentaly for this rough battle ?

I was diagnosed with stage 4 of the same cancer in October of last year in California

Has anyone tried gamma knife? I am looking for all the treatment options I can get. Feels like theres no support from doctors. I was told my dad shouldnt do radiation. We are starting with chemo

My 32 year old brother passed away last 4 months due to this life threatening High Great Glioblastma disease😭😭

Diagnosed and had surgery for this in August this year. It’s a horrible cancer and the side effects of treatment are horrible but yes you have to keep going,

My husband was diagnosed with glioblastoma on Dec 13th. He starts chemo and radiation soon. We’re devastated 😢 surgeon says surgery is no an option. I’m so scared 😢

God bless every body thats dealing with this. I pray for your healing. Please take matters into your own hands and fight the best fight with every single cell in your body. LITERALLY!! Please look into the work being done by Dr Thomas Seyfried. Stay positive, stay strong, you or your loved one will get through this. May God be with you every step of the way!

I am 76, 2 weeks post Resection of GBM(Grade-4). Only had 2 mild Seizures prior to operation. Waiting on next step, talking w/Neuro Oncologist. I am against Radiation therapy. Has anyone else done only Chemo & maybe a Clinical Trial? i have startee my own, 'Clinical Trial, using 'Cloring Dioxide' mixture.. Not much mentioned about that , but has been used successfully for fighting bacteriw, for a very long tim.

I’ve heard that there doing studies using scorpion venom to help treat glioblastoma. Have you heard of this? And what have the results showed?

My lovely mother had to spend her last days with this, I had read a article somewhere how niacin may help prevent, also my brother has spoke to many people that had themselves had this or knew someone who has which most overseas and they said their Doctors told them it was from radiation, my mother use to fall asleep with her phone, Prayers

Thankyou God Bless

My best friend was just diagnosed stage 4, she is turning 40 this September. She is the healthiest person I know…. Doesn’t drink or smoke. Exercises everyday. It’s so unfair.

My husband died at 40 a true nightmare

God bless tou all!❤

Tank you. New gbm. I'm fighting

Im almost sure i got it too all symptoms fall at place am so scared i dont want to die at15😭😭😭

Can 2 CT scans cause this? I'm 28.

Glioblastoma can happen to anybody at any time. Audience wishes hapless victims all the best. Cheers!

My mother is currently on hospice with this cancer. They told us it was Imoperable... Theyre telling me she has 2 weeks..

Women seldom take neurosurgery because they don't like standing for hours doing surgery.

I hate all the folks on social media arguing for BS remedies!
