Sorry for the time between updates. I’m planning on more regular entries in 2020. You can also follow me on Facebook (I’m the Craig Frost wearing hockey equipment :) ). As we enter the holiday season, I’d like to wish all of you and your families a Happy Thanksgiving.
I had my 9th clear and stable MRI in early November and will have my next MRI on 1/2/20. I will post the results of that scan shortly thereafter. The Optune device remains my only ongoing treatment and I have kept busy attending Optune Ambassador conferences, open houses, and conducting buddy calls for patients that are considering the treatment. I have also been fortunate to share my story during a National Brain Tumor Society fundraising event called Dancing for a Cure that was held in San Jose. No, I did not dance, I left that to the pros. It was a very beautiful event and a great honor. This week, I have been at the Society of Neuro-Oncologists (SNO) conference in Phoenix where I shared my story with doctors and health care providers and manned the Optune booth on the conference floor. Last night, I shared the patient experience with a delegation of neurosurgeons and neuro-oncologists from China, complete with an interpreter. Interesting experience and a reminder that the effort to find a cure is worldwide and that cancer does not discriminate based on any factors.
So, stay healthy, stay present, live in the moment, and hug your dear ones just a bit tighter for me today.
I am so very thankful to all of my family members, friends, and colleagues who have supported me along this journey. May peace, health, and prosperity shine down upon you and all those you hold dear. Peace be with you all.
PS - I will be interviewed on a public radio station (FM 94.1) for a show called Health Matters (I think) on Monday, November 25th from 2 to 3 PM PT. I’m told the broadcast is streamed and the interview will be available in their archives. Tune in if you can and please feel free to provide feedback of all kinds.
