Vaccine injections went well last week. Next Friday I will use the last dose of the vaccine, called DCVax Brain. The vaccine was made, in part, from my brain tumor tissue that was harvested during my second surgery in 10/08. So I will continue to track this via MRI, go back on some meds that are light on the …bone marrow and keep pressing. Next is finding another emerging treatment. UCSF has a few options and we are looking at some other ways to attack the problem.
It’s really a never-ending search. It’s about getting more time, adjusting to life’s challenges and moving on even when I feel like I’m sliding backwards. Walking up the down escalator as it were.
Through it all, never give up hope!! I’ve had some up and down days in the last three weeks that haven’t been great mainly due to joint pain on the left side that has resulted from surgery/treatment and some focal seizures. But I have much to be grateful for.
Through it all, never give up hope….and never give up.
Hebrews 11:1 (King James Version) 1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Hi Mark, Just checking in. I have been off-line for awhile.
Glad to see that you are keeping your postive attitude and still clinging to the cross!
