Josh Perry’s Brain Tumor.

by: adam |


Never met Josh but damn, this sucks:

“Josh Perry informed us of some unfortunate news this week. His head had been hurting for a few weeks and his vision was even a bit blurred. Josh had fallen on his bike, but never hit his head hard enough for these kinds of symptoms. When he went to the doctor and was examined, a tumor was found in his head. The doctors say that it’s benign and not cancerous. The tumor is not in the brain tissue yet, but will continue to grow, so they have to do surgery to remove it. The good news is that the tumor is not scattered, so removing it shouldn’t be too difficult. Josh is currently seeing neurologists and taking steps to prepare for surgery. The Athlete Recovery Fund (ARF) has flown Josh’s parents in to be with him through this. Josh said; “Thanks to everyone for the support and good wishes. I’ll definitely be going crazy while off my bike and looking forward to riding with everyone again!!!”

We are all thinking about you Josh! Resist/Recover/Ride!”

Via Eastern. Hopefully everything goes alright and Josh can be back to 100% again soon.

    life is strange! I’m a surviver of a grade 3 Anaplastic Oligoastrocytoma (Brain cancer) the tumor was based in the right frontal lobe. While BMXing with some friends i fell and busted my head i didnt think to much of it for a while. But after a month or so i was getting massive headaches and having blurry vision in right eye i went to a SF general hospital and got an MRI and found out i had a mass. Surgery and 2 and a half years of Chemotherapy and now after 5 years i have graduated .I BMX now more than ever at 33 years of age. GET WELL & RIDE ON BROTHER!!

    Thanks everyone for the prayers and best wishes. I am told I have surgery on Friday, if all goes well, I will be in the hospital no more then a week and then 6 weeks untill i can be on my bike. I wont be 100 percent the doc said but at least ill be able to ride again sooner then i thought. Thanks again everyone and ARF is amazing!!!! So glad I support them, you should to because you never know when you might need their help. I certainly didn’t think I would… Good luck to everyone at JOMO this year, bummed I wont be there. I will be watching tho, have fun!!!Ridaz!
