I found David's website while researching about Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), the most aggressive type of brain tumor. I found his website to be very inspiring. My uncle died of GBM twenty years ago this coming holiday season. David is an 11 year survivor this year! You can visit David's website at www.davidmbailey.com.

How did you find out you had cancer?

I started getting these really bad headaches. One morning, I fell over and felt nauseous. My wife called 911 and I remember getting in the ambulance thinking it was silly. I had a small seizure in the ambulance and when we got to the ER, I had a major grand-mal seizure. They did a quick cat-scan and saw a large mass in my head so they put me on a helicopter and flew me to a bigger hospital where they operated the next morning to remove the baseball size tumor in my brain. The pathology came back with the bad news -- grade 4 glioblasoma multiform (GBM) Prognosis, 6 months to live.

What types of cancer treatments were recommended?

I originally saw a general oncologist who had one clinical trial to offer but it was a randomized study, meaning a computer would pick if I got the treatment. I thought that was stupid. Then he gave me the best advice possible -- he told me to see a NEURO oncologist -- someone who specialized in heads.

Eleven is the magic number.

Eleven pounds of lost weight can reduce the risk of an advanced form of prostate cancer, according to researchers from the American Cancer Society and the Duke University Prostate Center.

Researchers, who tracked the weight of 70,000 men between 1982 and 1992 and then followed them until 2003, found men who lost more than 11 pounds had a lower risk of developing prostate cancer than men whose weight remained the same.

Studies have long shown obese men are at greater risk for prostate cancer. But this study, published in this month's Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, is the first to indicate that recent weight loss can decrease risk by roughly 40 percent.
