Good on you, Dave. Congratulations. I’m someone with my own brain tumor sitting on top of my brain stem in the pineal region of my head, and, I understand firsthand that neurosurgery is a literal life saver. It’s so far added 10 years to my life, and I hope that you get many more than I have.

Dr Weingart saved my life! Thanks Doc!

He stood up to shake the Dr's hand. Great character trait. I sure hope all goes well.

I share in this story. I had my surgery October, 2024 and I live my normal life now. Glory be to God Almighty and God bless my Neurosurgeon and his team

Awesome medical team! Dave is indeed lucky....likely helped that he was young and fit. My dad (early 80s), died fm glioblastoma which was large and fast growing; about 5mths fm dx to death. Very happy for Dave and his family!!💙

My wife hit the lottery as well. First we lost our six your old daughter to an diagnosed neurological disease, a year later a benign tumor was removed from my wifes spine, then six months later another benign tumor was removed. The following year her stomach quit working and inflated to an enormous size but, was corrected with surgery, the following year her esophagus began bleeding and again was resolved with surgery. Later she had she almost bleed to death and required an emergency hysterectomy. Recently she she was diagnosed with a glioblastoma. The day before her resection was scheduled the tumor began to bleed which required a life saving craniotomy. During the surgery she had two strokes and a heart failure. Trying to rehabilitate her from the strokes so we can begin treating the cancer but then she got a skull infection which required replacing half her skull with universe hates my wife. This is too much

To anyone who has Glioblastoma or known someone that had it. What Blood Group were they?

I am trying to see if their is a link between blood group and developing Glioblastoma.
