Tell me about some interesting things you have learned about your global issue so far. What have you learned that you didn't know before? Include a couple images from the internet if possible. (Make sure to cite images that are not your own.)

I had already had a lot of knowledge about Glioblastoma because I learned most of it during second semester of last school year.  Something new is that doctors still have no idea of what causes GMB to grow in the first place. I also didn't know that cancer patients were wanting to start "Die With Dignity" which is basically an assisted suicide to save them from suffering any longer and also so that they can be in control of their body before they die. So that they can die with dignity. Some things that I knew about Glioblastoma before was that GMB is a terminal cancer and that even if you are able to get rid of the tumor, it almost always grows back. I also knew that the tumor didn't stay intact and grew outwards weaving in and out of the brain.
