Hello:
After having discovered a brain tumor in my right frontal lobe; a surgical intervention in 2012 at the Rochester Mayo Campus has proved to have saved my life.
Physics is an interest in my life and applying a students interest towards learning about the facets of my dynamic survival has been great.
I would suggest reading about the dynamics of radiation technology for oncologics with regard to particles. Such as photon beams, proton beams, ETC.
When I was diagnosed, I was around 25 years of age. Presently, after having my 36th birthday this november, being alive and enjoying the whole of me as a person is what I consider to be a privilege of treatment.
I suggest looking into radiation based therapy right away.
The nature of my brain cancer was both rare and unusual for my age. After a gross surgical resection of the area containing the tumor, it wasnt yet clear for years, the stability of the surgical site. Usually, with a scenario like mine, a pateint has favorable odds to survive 3-5 years before a more aggressive version redevelops. Mayo Clinic has been a Miracle in my life. I stand cancer free and fully healed a decade later. Anything is possible; Everything can change;
All the time every time is sometimes the time.
Best regards in your journey and considerations thereof. If you ever need a listener, please ask. There is much I have seen. Take care and be well. Happy Holidays!!!
