"The Longest Glioblastoma Survivor in the USA" - Glioblastoma AKA GBM - S.3 Ep.6 

Thank you and may the Lord bless you. 🙏🏼 I have recently been diagnosed with Grade IV unmethylated GBM at 67 years of age. Started Temozolomide and Radiotherapy this week. Trying to learn more about treatments. ❤️ 😰

What a lovely interview ❤ thank you for this! David is so kind 🙏 I reached out to him back in the day one ofbmy best friends was diagnosed with GBM. I lived a little bit longer than what the doctors predicted but sadly Brazil health system had so much negligence, he was also fighting the system besides GBM. Staying around people who fought together with him, made his last months be filled with love and courage. He never allowed negativity in, even on his last hours.

He is very rare.

such an intelligent and caring man

Wow ... unbelievable interview 👏👏thank you for sharing...Positive attitude.. positive thoughts.. positive outcome...Good luck to you David & your fiance...lots of love and happiness and cute babies...🙏❤️🍀🤞🍀😊

I am 52 and childhoood cancer survivor. I was diagnosed with Wilm’s tumor in 1977 at age of 6. I had a left nephrectomy with 2 years of chemotherapy and cobalt radiation. Lucky for me I had an 85% cure rate. I did great until 1997 I was discharged with Papillary thyroid cancer and had a total Thyroidectomy. It was a rough few years, but life became more normal. At this time I had been Oncology nurse for 3 years. In 2012 I relapsed with Thyroid cancer. I had a butterfly mass on my layreangeal nerve. I had 2 amazing surgeons. Life moves on and I was diagnosed with a Leomyosarcoma of the abdomen. My mass was near renal artery and was about 4x4 mass with clear margins. That was the most difficult Surgery I have had to go through. All my surgeons agree that Cobalt radiation had a lot to do with all my cancers. I am a slow healer to the abdomen. I have also been a nurse for 30 years. Being on both sides has humbled me. I thank God everyday for life I have been given. I am thinking about starting a podcast for long term pediatric patients that have survived and are looking for support as there have been many more challenges that we all have faced. I absolutely loved listening to this interview. I am writing a similar story. I would have no idea on how to start a podcast, but if you could reach out I would love that.

Great interview David! Thank you David and the GBM Research Org. for doing such incredible work in the GBM community and research. Your story is very inspiring and it’s so awesome that it has reached so many people in need of hope, help and understanding. Really proud of you. ❤

Awesome interview and fabulous organization 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

SO AMAZING ❗️❗️❗️

You better be your own advocate. Read your reports!!! I could write a book about crap ive been through with doctors who dont do their due diligence

Lynch syndrome is very frightening.

LYNCH SYNDROME TOTALLY EXPLAINS IT...

What's with the headphones while sitting next to each other

How does he get credited as the "longest GBM survivor in the US" at 20 years from diagnosis? There's someone who works at the neurosurgery clinic here in Cincinnati that's over 30 years from dx, and there are a few 30+ year survivors I've talked to online - not sure if they're all in the US but at least one of them is. There are hundreds of 20+ year GBM survivors in the US. It's obviously not the norm, but it's a solid chunk of people.

Lost my sister in 4 months 😢 she had double glio tumors
