May is Brain Tumor Awareness Month.
Our guest was brain surgeon Dr. Michael Link and neurologist Dr. Alyx Porter. Brain tumors can strike anyone at any age and can be malignant or benign. We discussed symptoms, diagnoses, treatments, and prognosis. Also, what does the future hold and what role might proton beam therapy play in treatment?
Mother and author Jen O'Hara joined us to talk about her daughter Shannon who-although she lost her battle with brain cancer- was Determined To Matter.
