Chewing Up the Months

Brain cancer is...

 ...20 months old.

This month's anniversary is important because ... Q: Who measures life in months? (A: new couples, new parents, and cancer warriors), and because ... 20 months is the median OS (overall survival) for GBM fighters using Optune.

That means Darrell has chewed up and spit out all these months: 
  • PFS (progression free survival) rate for general GBM patients using standard of care (5-7 months)
  • PFS rates for GBM patients with standard of care and Optune (16 months)
  • OS (overall survival) for general GBM patients (15 months)
  • OS for Optune patients (20 months)
Just keep chewing, Darrell!

Also: Here's how life happened today.

Morning walk with Brady and Linda


Melanie leaves for flight training tomorrow.

The Packers win AND we see T and A!

 Also the view from the train. 

Half mast.  Still grieving.


All life's things. All at once.
