Richard Scolyer: No evidence of recurrence of my glioblastoma!
Richard Scolyer shared a post on X:
“I couldn’t be happier that my MRI brain scan last Friday showed no evidence of recurrence of my glioblastoma! It’s now 13.5 months since my seizure in Poland when it showed up.
I cannot thank the entire neuro-oncology team enough for looking after me & supporting me so well including A/Prof Michael Back who went through the scans with me.
Thanks also to expert neuroradiologist Dr. Jamie Drummond for interpreting the scans and the North Shore Radiology team.
I am so fortunate to have such a fabulous caring team looking after me so well especially my wonderful wife Katie & family, friends & colleagues.
A cancer journey is incredibly difficult for patients and their families and just as I continue to rely on my neuro-oncology clinical team for their expert guidance, I strongly encourage all brain cancer patients to continue consulting their own medical teams.”
