Michael Tilson Thomas has brain surgery

Dear friends and music lovers,
I recently returned home from the UCSF Medical Center. After a series of tests, it was diagnosed that I had a brain tumor and that an immediate operation was necessary. The operation was successful. I’m embarking on a course of therapy for the next several months. This means that I must curtail my public appearances through the end of October. I plan to return to the stage in November. I am very fortunate to be cared for by the excellent team at UCSF and their national and international collaborators.
Thank you for your love and prayers. See you soon!

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

This is the worrisome part.
If it were a meningioma, some rehab might be in order, but this sounds ominous.
GBM is a nasty, nasty tumor (I worked with 2 people that died from it).
