A very dear friend of mine, Tom LeVine, the CEO of Pop!Tech is extremely ill. He has been diagnosed with brain cancer. This morning I was speaking with another close friend of Tom’s, and in our conversation, we realized how powerless we all are at times like this.
What we did conclude we would do is to try to find the very best neuro-oncologist in Boston, and failing that at other key medical centers in the country. We would like to ultimately forward any names to Tom’s family so that they can consult with that person.
So, if you are reading this, and have the ability to reach out in your network of friends for name, please do so and let me know via E-Mail.
In the meantime, please keep Tom, his wife Valerie and his family in your prayers and thoughts.
Friend of mine has a brain tumor and HIGHLY recommends Dr. Janne at Dana Farber Cancer Institute. See:

Please consider talking to the people at the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania. My father in law was treated there for Leukemia. While his case was terminal, I have never seen a more dedicated and caring group of people in my life. The link to their site is:

May God bless your friend with peace and no pain.
