Please take a moment to read, and share of course! The more eyes on this type of cancer, or any type of cancer in that case, the better 👍
Translating research into clinical practice is a ticket to long-term survivorship for individuals like me living with rare #braincancer. 7 years ago my world changed forever. I had a grand mal seizure and after several scans and a battery of other diagnostic testing, it was certain, I had a brain tumor in the upper left side of my brain. Talk about unreal. This stuff happens to other people, not me! With two young children and the crazy non-stop existence that comes with working full time and raising kiddos - life just came to a screeching halt. After an awake craniotomy at UCSF Health by the phenomenal and meticulous Edward Chang I was lucky to have most of the mass removed, leaving an open space in my brain that, fun fact, will never fill in. So yes, I literally DO have a hole in my head ! The part that remains is being treated by my hilarious and witty oncologist Nicholas Butowski with careful monitoring and regular MRIs. And of course my amazing neurologist Robert Knowlton who takes so much time to help manage the epileptic piece of my treatment. Luckily, with the proper medication, I have not had another grand mal seizure. This year, I was lucky enough to meet Bernadette Gates and her kind brother Stanley Currier who has the same type of tumor, in the same darn spot! They introduced me to the upcoming 3rd Annual Fast Track to a Cure 5k Bay Area Walk/Run on September 16th organized by Oligo Nation. After too many years of doing nothing to help find a cure for me and others like me with an oligo tumor, I am taking real action to help raise awareness and funds for #oligodendroglioma. I would love to invite my LinkedIn Community to join the effort by participating in person in the Bay Area, or virtually from wherever you might be in the world. So, if you have read this super long winded post, thank you. Even if all you do is hit the like/love/share/etc. button, it helps get the word out there that this organization exists. Maybe someone you know and love also has an Oligo brain tumor and could use this support community because I for one know how lonely it can feel to go it alone. Signing off with the reminder to count your blessings if you have good health, it really is the greatest gift and fortune in the world. https://lnkd.in/gKYEUFM2

Hear ye, hear ye! The silent auction for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Lehigh Valley & Northeast Pennsylvania Region’s Visionaries of the Year Grand Finale Gala is open online as of 3:00 pm today! Here is the link to bid: https://lnkd.in/emayiuFQ Please share this link with your family, friends, donors, on social media whenever and wherever you can. My auction items are items numbered 395-402. There is something for everyone. Item Number 401 is not yet live, pending confirmation of some important details for a night’s stay at The Dery House mansion with a bottle of champagne to help you celebrate winning the night’s stay. Stay tuned for an update on that item. Remember: People DO NOT have to be present at Grand Finale to bid or to win, so share the link with everyone you think might be interested in bidding on some great items, including luxury trips to exotic destinations, concert and other event tickets, alcohol, and more. Note: You need to register and provide a credit card to bid, and you must be 21 to bid on packages that contain alcohol. Also, there is a buy now option available for a price that is about twice the estimated fair market value of each item. So if you really, really, really want a particular item, then you don’t have to bid - you can buy it now and help me/us raise even more money for the cause. With your help, I think I can still reach my goal of raising $25,000 for LLS by next Thursday to help end blood cancers sooner rather than later. As they say about voting - and bidding - please bid early and often and/or share the link with others so they can do so. #payitforward #bid #buy #silentauction #LLS #visionariesoftheyearcampaign2024
