POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Hey everyone - Jake here with a life update.

About seven years ago, a migraine-prompted MRI revealed a 9 mm lesion on my brain, right near my basil ganglia. This past summer a routine scan showed some possible growth in this lesion, which prompted an EEG test - to my surprise, the panic symptoms I had been experiencing were actually focal seizures.

My neurologist and neurosurgeon at Mayo determined that the best route to recovery would require a craniotomy to remove the lesion, as its critical location renders the option for a biopsy to be too dangerous. This kind of open brain surgery lasts for about six hours and requires that I’m awake so that they can safely access what they believe is a stage two glioma (slow growing, low grade brain tumor).

They’ll remove as much of the lesion as possible and then send it off for testing. Once we know what it is, we’ll know how to treat it.

While a medical procedure of this nature carries some scary risks, my family and I couldn’t ask for a better surgical team to perform this surgery, which is scheduled for November 6th.

All that being said, it might be a second before I can play music for y’all again. So, on October 19th we’re playing a show at Turf Club to rage for one last time before I’m on my ass for a few months. Rest assured I will work as hard as I can to get back on stage asap.

I’ll keep y’all updated throughout this journey. Gonna be a wild ride.

Much love,
Jake by @lupin
