A few of you know and all have been wondering about Cos. He has not posted here for some time. I have some news but it is not good news.
Cos was having dizzy spells and headaches for several months that no one seemed to be able to get to the bottom of. He had to stop driving which also meant no work.
On Feb. 1st he ended up at the ER and after a CT Scan was preformed. He was then transferred to a better equipped hospital in Providence RI. After several additional scans and other tests he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Glioblastoma Multiforme / Grade 4, one of the most aggressive cancers known. There is no known cure and it is almost always fatal within 2 years.
Cos has spent the last couple of months going through a regiment of chemo, radiation, and Avastin in an effort to shrink the tumor. With a little luck and all of our prayers the treatment will have worked which will set him up for another round in a few weeks.
Members can feel free to PM him their well wishes but he is devoting 100% of his energy to fighting this thing so don't look for him to reply. I am sure it would cheer him up to hear from any of you that sends a PM and a prayer his way.
You may also comment here if you wish.
I hope to have some more information soon and will pass along any news I can when I can.
There has been an update to Cos condition...the CT scan showed about the best news possible...the tumor has shrunk about 50% and the tumor leakage has decreased 90%. Cos is set to begin another round of chemo only in the coming weeks!!
