Greg’s Story

Site created on November 13, 2018

Hello everyone!

Welcome to our Caring Bridge site! We so appreciate you visiting to follow Greg’s journey and send your support and uplifting messages!!

As most of you know, we started this path in July with Greg having a seizure. This led to the discovery of his brain tumor in September and brain surgery in October. Unfortunately, this also led to his diagnosis of Glioblastoma brain cancer.

Greg has recovered re-markedly well from surgery and we’re in the prepare for the next battle stage. We are at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Greg has met with his neuro-oncologist and radiologist. We feel truly blessed to be here because we feel that he has the very best medical team.

The next battle starts this Thursday, November 15. Greg will start a combination of radiation and chemo that has been planned specifically for him. These treatments will be administered at Mayo for 30 business days, ending December 28.  This means Greg and I will be staying here in Rochester for the next 8 weeks.

When we return home at the end of December, Greg will have a month to build up his strength and prepare for the next battle. This will be a combination of chemotherapy and Optune therapy (aka tumor treating field therapy). This will mostly be done at home, with visits to Rochester every 6-8 weeks to see his doctors.

Greg is doing pretty well. He’s a little overwhelmed with all the information, but he’s keeping a very positive attitude!
