Today it has been 15 years that I had my surgery in UCLA, performed by Dr. Linda Liau (In the picture below), an incredibly gifted and meticulous neurosurgeon, who saved my life on this day. I still hope , that through doing my science, I will be able to pay the universe back a little something on this narrow escape of mine, so many good people die from brain tumor and I like to think, there is a reason, why I got away and I am supposed to do/achieve SOMEthing important. OK I will be submitting a publication on our data for Oncohistone biology soon, maybe something therapeutic will come out of that. But first in needs to be accepted by the journal.
For anybody out there with a new diagnosis! 15 years! Keep fighting that THING (Sometimes I engage in this "Exercise" to visualise the cancer (or the remaining cells, sitting disseminated throughout he healthy cells in my brain) and EAT them. Grinding them between my teeth, and swallow them. Its a bit of a disgusting image, but I believe it goes in the right direction.
Take care!
