Scientist photoblogs own brain tumor removal
David LaPuma is a grad student scientist at Rutgers who is battling brain cancer had a benign meningioma. He documented his own surgery in snapshots, and explains:
I guess putting it all on(the)line was partially my way of dealing with it, and also a way that I could share the experience with both the people I know and those I don't know (but who might be considering a similar procedure). The whole experience has been quite amazing, and I really feel fortunate to be recovering so quickly.
Link to photo set. Contains graphic images, unicorn chaser advised. Get well soon, David. (Thanks, Jake, and I see Mindhacks has a related post. Thanks for the clarification, David!.)
