July 17, National Glioblastoma Day and Kyrsten Sinema
Kyrsten Sinema, thank you for co-sponsering a bill with Sen. Graham.
"GBM has taken the lives of family members, friends and loved ones. It has no party affiliation, does not discriminate on the basis of sex, financial status or age.
That is why we introduced S. Res. 245, establishing July 17, 2019, as “Glioblastoma Awareness Day” with our Senate colleagues. We aim to highlight the importance of this date and to shine a light on the impact of glioblastoma.
My 34 year old son was diagnosed in March of this year with this tumor. In two weeks we go for his first MRI after finishing his first round of chemo and radiation. Let this be one resolution that both parties unite. Like most others with GBM tumor he was given 15 months to live.
