It… I don’t want to overstate this, but genuinely this is the news I’ve been praying for for the last 27 years… I lost my dad to brain cancer and he gave his brain to science in hopes that it could help lead to understanding or even a treatment.

I have no proof, but I want to believe my dad in his own way helped us reach here, him and all those who suffered and gave themselves to science… sorry I’m likely not making sense, just rambling and happy

I lost my dad to GBM 22 years ago. He participated in clinical trials for radiation wafers that were implanted in the skull. I understand that feeling of wishing that some good comes from his death. The trials along the way, whether successes or failures, have helped lead to new advances.

Your dad helped. And you sharing your experience helps.
