often re-post articles about celebrities because:
I
sense that knowing a celebrity with a brain tumor somehow helps brain tumor
victims feel like they aren’t the only ones fighting this wicked disease.
It
draws attention to the need for a cure among the celebrities’ following which
almost always expands beyond the brain tumor community of victims, survivors,
doctors and the like.
It
humanizes the impact of brain cancers.
So Today
I ran across an article about Gord Downie from the Canadian Press who reports
that “Canadian rock band the Tragically Hip begins what is being billed as its
final tour after lead singer Gord Downie was diagnosed with a deadly brain
cancer.”
If you are a Gord Downie fan, you may want to read about Glioblastoma (GBM) which is the brain tumor disease the article reports that he has. :-(
