@ChristineJKoMD Thank you! This was so comforting to listen, such a genuine conversation.

*** News alert: my memoir written with Garry Maddox is coming out soon***

Just over a year ago I was diagnosed with a Grade 4 IDH wildtype glioblastoma – the worst subtype of brain cancer. I am now patient zero for applying melanoma science to treatment for my cancer.

Brainstorm is the story of my journey from a cancer doctor and researcher to a patient, and what I’ve learned from the year my life has been turned upside down. From what's important to me, how I want to live my life and my hopes for the future for myself and other cancer patients.
Above all, it’s about the need to be bold. We shouldn’t just lean into life, science, love…we need to leap in.

Brainstorm will be in all bookstores on 29 October,  or you can pre-order a copy now via the link below:

@et565 @DCSkipperDO @david_terrano @HENRYY_MD @MarcelaSaebL @PIorfino @ShaneSmithMD @alegru18 @forthejon @CutisViaLux Good question.. I was still thinking can this is be a spindle cell SCC?? But there is no overlying epidermal changes!!

[Laleh Montaser Kouhsari, MD @llmontaseri]

@DCSkipperDO @david_terrano @HENRYY_MD @et565 @MarcelaSaebL @PIorfino @ShaneSmithMD @alegru18 @forthejon @CutisViaLux In acral site, want to exclude superficial acral fibromyxoma and sclerosing perineuroma. Agree with @HENRYY_MD suggested IHC profile
