This is a Newsweek story Regarding a neurosurgeon at MDACC getting the worst type of brain cancer, glioblastoma (GBM). Read and take a look. Although half of brain cancers are very treatable, GBM is not. My fellowship proposal is examining a model for GBM (sorta). Anyway i hope it gets funded; its due Jan 5th. I'm lucky so far, in the last few months 3 new journal articles have appeared talking about my specific focus area, so they really help shed light on what I want to do.
