    I like a happy ending!. after 2 stage 4 GBM's within 12 months, my life was saved by my neuro surgeon inserting Gliadel Wafers during removal of the second GBM. I have now had 6 annual clear scans and am almost back to where I was before GBM!!! I am still working out in the gym to get my physical strength back after treatment with cortisone.

    My mom had a slight seizure for the first time in her 77 years of life and went to the hospital where they found two brain tumors and then lung cancer (NSCLC) it’s also in her lymphatic system.
    She’s starting Radiation Therapy for her brain lesions and chemotherapy two weeks after for her lung cancer.
    She’s not doing well due to having severe copd and unfortunately she has Kaiser insurance that’s delayed treatment for 3 months (89 days since diagnosis, but who’s counting?)
    I’m praying she can endure the treatments.
    Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. This is a great resource for people looking for information on this topic. It’s overwhelming.

    I was diagnosed with oma cancer stage 4 11 months ago and after my chemo and radiation treatments I now have severe brain damage the mri’s showed. The doctor who performed the operation told me I have 15 to 17 months to live. But I’m going to turn it into 15 or 17 years. My wife has been very very concerned and has made me her primary concern . I am also or we are raising my grandson so I really don’t want to leave them because they need me. I had to retire after 44 years and 4 months and miss working very much.y

      there is a treatment involving repurposed drugs Doxycycline, Metformin, Statin, Mebendazole which can be combined with radiation or chemo i think for greater protection here is the link: czcams.com/video/2-YrZMIK37U/video.html

    My father died of brain cancer last week. Herman Memorial performed the brain surgery to remove the tumor which was later diagnosed a stage 4 cancer. My father was 83 at the time of surgery. I feel so sad for my father because he had to endure a lot of pain from deep incision in the skull. He was never given radiation and chemotherapy. He was sent home. Doctors said that they were unable to treat my father. Had I known about UCLA laser treatment options I would have transferred my father to U CLA. I believe that we were not given options before the surgery.

      I'm so sorry about your Mom. Cancer is such a vile disease.
      My Aunt has 6 cancerous brain tumors. She is having Gamma Knife radiation. She's had 2 treatments so far. It has shrunk the tumors considerably. They aren't gone but they are doing another treatment in 2 weeks. I'm so hoping they can prolong her life for a long time. Treatment has come a long way so you never know!
      I can't imagine what you are going through. Hang in there and be strong for your mama.
      I'm sending positive thoughts 🤩❤❤💥💥

She had had a breast cancer 3 years ago before she got brain cancer. Please help us out and save my mother’s life. We live in Iran and Specialists here have different ideas. Some of them advise surgery but others believe in radiotherapy and we get stuck and we are incapable of make a quick decision to take advantage of time. Please let me know if I could send MRI pictures of her brain and have your recommendation Dr Yang. As you probably know , There are inadequate equipments and machines to treat cure brain tumour. I am waiting for your response.
