Brain Tumor Fighter Spotlight #1: Mark Lazarus When I was diagnosed with a brain tumor and "went public" on social media, Mark was the first person who reached out to me who I didn't already know. The fact that someone living on the other side of the world reached out to me to offer their support meant the world to me. It is with great honor that I present his story here. I am proud to call him a fellow Brain Tumor Fighter. Take the time to read and share his amazing story. Click the link below: |

The results are in from my first post-radiation MRI: "Looks good. See you in 6 months." This was LITERALLY the extent of the email I received from my doctor along with an attachment of the results that were definitely written for only a doctor to understand. Make sure to check out Episode 10 of "My Journey" to hear why I was initially upset with the manner that these results were delivered, but then came around to being very appreciative. MERCH ALERT: I will be pulling the "CYBER KNIFE" shirts from the store page soon and making those available at my band's shows. Make sure to get one before they are pulled! There are a small number of the original Brain Tumor Fighter shirts left as well. The next design will be available after the holidays. What better way to commemorate who we are than by using a Ramones-inspired shirt! Remember, proceeds from the sale of any items on the Brain Tumor Fighter store page go to the Acoustic Neuroma Association.

Finished with all 5 of my CyberKnife Radiation treatments today! Thank you to everyone for your support during this stage of my journey. A huge debt of gratitude to the staff at Kaiser in Roseville, CA for their awesome hospitality in making me feel at ease during my treatments. Enjoy the Death Wish Coffee and the cookies that my wife made for you. |

Three CyberKnife Radiation treatment sessions down, two to go. Make sure to check out the "My Journey" page for my latest episodes. Not sure if you've noticed yet, but there is a "Store" button up top. Nothing is available right now, but over the next two weeks, I'll be offering a few t-shirt designs to choose from. Proceeds will go to the Acoustic Neuroma Association. Go ahead and check out the page to get a sneak peek at a few of the designs!

May 21, 2018: The Moans Cyberknife Shirt...coming soon! Proceeds will go to the Acoustic Neuroma Association. More details in the coming weeks! May 21, 2018: Well, today is the day. I go in at 3:30 PM today for the first of my five treatments of radiation via Cyberknife. I won't lie. I am nervous, scared, and angry at the cards I've been dealt. I'm putting my body in the trust of Science and technology. Thank you to everyone who have offered me their support. Your cards, emails, texts, hugs, and grey ribbons have gotten me to face this day with more courage than I could have imagined. I will be posting a video tonight (hopefully) to describe the experience of my first treatment. May 20, 2018: I know it has been way too long since I've updated this website! I sincerely apologize! Please watch the latest video I have posted on "My Journey" to see what I've been up to! The next step of my journey is about to begin! MOANS t-shirt with proceeds going to ANAUSA.org coming very soon! Stay posted! November 30, 2017: Many organizations such as the National Brain Tumor Society (BrainTumor.org) and the Acoustic Neuroma Association (ANAusa.org) put together fund-raising events known as a "Brain Freeze" which raise funds for brain tumor research. The whole angle to these events is to do an activity in the cold weather that you normally wouldn't do in such conditions (swimming in ice-cold water). In dealing with my current condition, I think it would beneficial, both financially and emotionally, to put together a Brain Freeze event of my own here in the Sacramento-area. Right now, I'm still playing with a few ideas which include:
I am going to be working with a local tattoo artist in designing a BRAIN TUMOR FIGHTER t-shirt that I will make available on this site and at any upcoming shows by my bands, The Moans or Captain 9 & The Knickerbocker Trio. Proceeds from these shirt sales will go directly to the Acoustic Neuroma Association of America in benefitting further research in brain tumors. Thank you for taking the time to read this and stay tuned for more! |
Brain Tumor Fighter sticker? Brain Tumor Fighter shirt? Who knows! Stay tuned! Regardless, proceeds will go to the Acoustic Neuroma Association.
