Just found this website and though it would be a good way to keep everyone updated with my hubby's diagnosis and progress. Jason was diagnosed with Glioblastoma (brain cancer) last January. He had emergency surgery 1/12/21 and shortly after that is when the diagnosis came. The word cancer is scary to begin with BUT Glioblastoma is even scarier. The average lifespan with this diagnosis is 6 - 18 months with treatment. However, Jason is a warrior and a fighter! He is now a year in and doing great. <br />After surgery we had a long recovery. He had difficulty walking and speaking (stutter developed) and had left side weakness. Through physical therapy and just pure will he overcame. He had 6 weeks of radiation every day and chemo for 6 weeks every day. He ended the radiation/chemo combo the end of March in 2021. The doctors then gave him a month break to recover and then he started what they call 5/23. He took chemo for 5 straight days and was off for 23. He did this for 6 months and the 5/23 chemo ended in October of 2021.<br />He has had 5 clear and stable scans so far and our next one is in March of this year. He was having to have MRI's every 2 months but the doctors have now moved it to every 3. <br />We know that this cancer is aggressive and can come back at any time. There is no cure! Jason will never hear cancer free or remission. With Glioblastoma doctors will never say those words. However, Jason will fight. He has been fighting and will continue too. We believe in our God and that miracles happen every day. I watch my husband get better each and every day. He will be a long-term survivor. FAITH OVER FEAR! Never lose hope!
