Periods of stability

Well first I’m gonna brag about my progress at Shirley Ryan ability lab. Those physical therapist and occupational therapist don’t mess around. They really push you past your limits and they know what they are doing. My entire floor was dedicated to brain and leg Issues. The workout lab has a beautiful view of Lake Michigan it’s a wonderful facility in top-notch I’m lucky we live score so close by! They have a specialized programs to increase mobility for my specific issue which is GBM.Glioblastoma multiform cancerous brain tumor in left brain. I had the conscious craniotomy to remove the tumor and they got most of it out but there’s always cancerous cells left behind with this type of tumor so you always have to be in treatment. I did six weeks of radiation and chemo pills and now I’m on a program of just chemo pills for six months. So far so good with all the MRIs nothing new to see. They don’t call it remission with GBM they call it periods of stability.
