Greg has been recovering from an extensive surgery to remove a brain tumor that was located between his cerebellum and brainstem,” said Catherine O’Neal, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Our Lady of the Lake Health. “Greg’s speech and ability to communicate has been impacted, and although he is responsive and working daily with physical therapy, he will face months of intensive rehabilitation
All of this and if he took the field on Saturday he’d STILL be the best we have.
Get well soon Mr. Brooks.. can’t imagine what you’re going through right now

So looks like no Mets and complete surgical resection. So main thing is the receptor erb, but even if that’s positive it’s a 50% chance. 100% survival if it’s receptor negative
Before Greg received the operation, he and the family made the decision on how much of the tumor to take out.
The more of the tumor they take out on that part of the brain, the increased likelihood of PERMANENT impairment to speech and motor function.
Not being a smart arse, but if they take 100% and you are in the high survival rate class, what good is it if you can’t speak, feed yourself, walk, put on clothes etc in your mid 20’s with all other healthy organs functioning to live well into your 80’s severely debilitated?
The fact it was the type of cancer the family chose to go that deep to get all of it, knowing he could be paralyzed and at the very least severely debilitated, it tells you he had a terminal prognosis with all other options.
There is no good news in any of this, go read the family’s first press release, and how they kept the surgery a secret.
It’s time for Prayer because I don’t think people fully grasp that the kid very likely won’t be able to speak, walk, or feed himself the rest of his life.

Tried to donate as well and couldn’t.
I was able to sign in, but it won’t let me change the payment method, as the card I had on file expired 8 years ago.

Man what a decision to have had to make as a kid along with your parents and what a decision to have had to make with your child. Truly cannot imagine.
So so many prayers.

Very easy to donate for first-timers.

I HATE CANCER!! When and If I make it to heaven why He let it be created is on my list to ask God about.

Never lose hope. Lots of technologies that evolve with AI could provide a remedy down the road.

I gave his fund $74 for each tackle he made as a Tiger. Praying that God grants Greg healing so that he can lead a productive life in the future. #Prayfor3
