Surgeon

The surgeon came and had some no so great news. He is not 100% sure but with his 25 years of experience and if he were a betting man this is what he believes John has:

glioblastoma (GLEE-oh-blas-TOH-muh)

A fast-growing type of central nervous system tumor that forms from glial (supportive) tissue of the brain and spinal cord and has cells that look very different from normal cells. Glioblastoma usually occurs in adults and affects the brain more often than the spinal cord. Also called GBM, glioblastoma multiforme, and grade IV astrocytoma.

There is still a chance that it could be another type and/or benign - only time will tell.

Keep on your knees folks - miracles happen.
