When Ronald suddenly experienced stroke-like symptoms on the left side of his body while on his way to work, he knew something was wrong. At the emergency room, he learned he had glioblastoma—an aggressive, fast-growing type of brain cancer that develops from cells that support the brain. Seeking a second opinion, Ronald came to Mount Sinai, where Dr. Isabelle Germano recommended immediate intervention. Using Navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (nTMS), Dr. Germano mapped Ronald's brain before the procedure, allowing her team to identify critical areas responsible for movement and speech and plan the safest possible approach to remove the tumor. By combining advanced technology with timely surgical care, Ronald was able to undergo surgery quickly, helping support a smoother recovery and a faster return to the people and moments that matter most. #WeFindAWay #glioblastoma #neurosurgery #neuro
