Oh my. My heart goes out to you.

One positive outcome for Senator Kennedy's situation is that it brings focus to this devastating disease.

Lee Atwater also died from a Grade III glioblastoma, 12 months after his diagnosis following a seizure. He was 40 years old.

Thank you for your thoughts.

I was just reading an article about Lee Atwater’s final year. What a horrible way to die. As I wrote earlier, I don’t wish this disease on anyone.

I am so distressed over the many posts that have been deleted. Damn it! Knock it off, people! You don’t have to admire Ted Kennedy to pray for his soul and pity him now. Show some compassion. Surely we can act better than the Ds and libs acted when Lee Atwater was diagnosed with this frightening disease.

12 months was a blessing—normal is 6 months.

One of the best written true stories of glioblastoma is:

John Gunther, Death Be Not Proud (1949). Harper Perennial edition 1998: ISBN 0-06-092989-8

A must read for everyone!
