Fight A Recurrence With Hope

According to the NIH, glioblastoma has an unfavorable prognosis mainly due to its high propensity for tumor recurrence. It has been suggested that GBM recurrence is inevitable after a median survival time of 32–36 weeks. 10 years after his initial diagnosis, Matt Mendlick is fighting even harder as he faces his own recurrence.
