I am a scientist who has worked in Boston and other places, I have a PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Zaire/Congo after a college degree in Chemistry from LaSalle University. I was at UMASS Lowell for a Biology degree (M.S.). NIH funded research predoctoral research (Saint Louis University, (SLU)-on a genetic disease MPSVII (Sly Syndrome-Adisor-Dr. Bill Sly) lysosomal storage disorder) and I did NIH postdoctoral research at MGH with MAC- Dr. Robert McCluskey, Chief Pathologist). Howard Hughes Medical Institute supported research at Harvard Medical School in Boston (cloned TBX5 in a heart-hand disease with the Dr. Seidmans). We later received patents for cancer gene therapies (Intrexon) and FDA approvals for DNA/genes for genetic disorders (cystic fibrosis,,,). 
Diagnosis with gliablastoma in January, now living in a hospital in MA. I need help as soon as possible. Thank you so much for consider helping support my treatment.

My dad survived GBM after surgery, radiation and temozolomide at univ of Cincinnati. the odds are not in your favor, but they gave my dad a 2% chance and he was in that 2%. He died years later in his 70s of congestive heart failure unrelated to the GBM. I will pray for you as I prayed for my dad.
