Last Monday, 24 Sep, at abut 930 PM I suffered a grand mal seizure. I was taken to our local Trauma center ED, where it was determined the seizure was caused by a brain tumor, previously unknown, and thought to be a 'glioma'.
The Med Center (Shands Gainesville) tumor board meets this tuesday to discuss my case, and a plan will be fettered out. Its likely I will have surgery, radiation and chemotherapy in the coming weeks.
My wife is helping out tremendously, others are stepping in to help run my business, and I can concentrate on beating this. I have a 5 year old boy that means everything, and will do whatever necessary to stick around for him.
I want to thank everyone here that I've met in my short time here, and hope to be active, once again.
