Radiation comes with its own side effects too. If in the head region, dead saliva glads, dead taste buds, weak bones(easy to break and often won't heal properly)

Somebody has to be the percent that survives. Aaron was in fantastic shape. Ate well, ran and exercised alot. He has incredible will. Here is to praying that he overcomes this.

prayers for Aaron --- he's a stand up guy .
I have three people that I know suffered a Glioblastoma . My wife's brother , by the time they found it and removed --- it was 1/3 the size of his brain and came back more aggressively post surgery --- he lived 5 moths after initial diagnosis . A work colleague , he choose an immunotherapy plan ( high risk ---no surgery ) -- they managed to get the tumor down to a size of a walnut ( from baseball size) and he was progressing really well --- then right after one of his final treatments --- the actual " immune therapy " caused him to have a heart attack and die .
The third is a brother in law that was a heart Dr at the time for the Mayo clinic . He did the surgery first then the immune system treatment. He is now 8 years post all the treatments and the only Glio survivor I know . He is now a top heart Dr at Stanford and DOESN'T talk about his tumor at all ---
He basically said the future for treating Glio will be immune system treatments ( basically injecting you with super aggressive , tailored viruses that kill off the tumors )

I saw on his FB page where he felt much better and was able to get out on the water and fish a bit.
