Help Save Our Saba's Life

Hi everyone,


We did not want to ask for donations. It puts us all in a humble and vulnerable place. But our grandfather at the age of 70, unfortunately, has a horrible medical condition.

He has a very aggressive brain tumor called a glioblastoma, unfortunately, the survival rate is less than a year. He has gone through one surgery to remove this tumor but another one has grown - and it has become even bigger and more aggressive. He has gotten another surgery to remove part of this tumor. Our grandfather is dealing with anger and memory issues due to this cancer sitting in his brain.

We have done extensive research on treatment options and we came across a doctor that specializes in his condition. There are many testimonials of his treatment curing this horrific disease. B”H he can be a shaliach/messenger from God to cure our grandfather’s condition. The treatment can cost up to 50k. 

We are begging all of you to open your hearts and your pockets to help save our grandfather and give him the wholesome life that he deserves.

Our grandfather is a Baal Teshuva who has worked tirelessly to find the truth in his life. Most of his day is spent listening to shiurim and learning Torah! Please donate so that he can live a wholesome life of Torah and Mitzvot.

Our grandfather asks that his name be kept anonymous. So we are writing to you under our names to protect his dignity.

We ask that you Please read tehilim for him here (Moshe Ben Rivka) https://new.tehilimyahad.com/mr.jsp?r=3oh8biSQ6H1  We are praying that B”H with your help and your prayers our grandfather’s life can be saved!

Sincerely,

His Grandchildren, Tamar Shaool and Hadar Oziel



Study Result
Impression
IMPRESSION:

Interval near total resection of left temporal occipital tumor. There is a possible small residual 5 x 9 mm focus along the anteromedial wall of the resection cavity.

Perioperative cytotoxic edema along the medial and posterior walls of the resection cavity may enhance on short-term follow-up imaging.

Lateral left transverse sinus narrowed compared to preoperative imaging. Filling defect within adjacent left sigmoid sinus could represent bone wax material and/or thrombus.

Dr. Shepherd discussed these findings with Dr. Orillec at 5 PM on September 2, 2020.
Narrative
CLINICAL INDICATION: Left temporal parietal mass status post left craniotomy and resection on 9/1/2020. Follow-up.

TECHNIQUE: Multi-planar multi-sequential MR imaging of the brain was performed before and after the intravenous administration of contrast. 7.7 ml of GADOBUTROL 7.5 MMOL/7.5 ML (1 MMOL/ML) INTRAVENOUS SOLN was administered (the balance of single use vial(s) has/have been discarded).

COMPARISON: MRI brain dated 9/1/2020 and 8/31/2020.

FINDINGS: Status post left parietal-temporal-occipital craniotomy with a 0.5 cm extra-axial fluid subjacent to the craniotomy. The craniotomy bone flap is slightly depressed (series 11; image 11). The craniotomy may overlie the left transverse sinus and the lateral left transverse sinus appears thin compared to preoperative imaging. There is a linear filling defect in the left sigmoid sinus on postcontrast 3-D images (series 102 image 46).

There is a large left temporal occipital resection cavity with near total resection of contrast enhancement. There is a 0.5 x 0.9 cm focus of enhancement along the anterior medial wall of the resection cavity (series 103 image 123 and series 15 image 14). This is decreased compared to the initial postcontrast images obtained during intraoperative MRI. There is a thin rim of reduced diffusion along the margins of the resection cavity particularly the medial and posterior aspects (series 3; image 47).

There is edema in the left cerebral hemisphere adjacent to the resection cavity. There remains relatively diffuse left hemisphere sulcal effacement. Left to right midline shift has decreased from 0.6 cm now measuring 0.4 cm. There is persistent effacement of the left lateral ventricle, however left temporal horn trapping appears resolved. No hydrocephalus.

No additional suspicious contrast enhancement and the remaining dural sinuses appear patent.

There is some blood products within the resection cavity, but no additional parenchymal hemorrhage. There is pneumocephalus in the nondependent portions of the intracranial compartment. No additional extra-axial fluid collections. No ischemia/infarct.

The remaining visualized soft tissues and bones of the skull and face appear normal.
