Hello, our team is here to support you. Please feel free to reach out if you need anything. We also would like to share a few helpful resources with you from our website if you have not had a chance to visit our site: braintumor.org/support-services/
Bless all of you, I am recently diagnosed with brain cancer and awaiting chemo and radio therapy. Hearing positive stories really helps me. Thank you xx
Know of that completely as my headaches hit me right after I graduated school and at work . . But that’s in 1991 . As far as I know treatments have progressed at least
It’s just so awesome that the treatments have evolved since mine in 1991 ! Hope to be an example of survival 🙃 . . It’s been over 30 years and I even JUST finally retired. Now when I got radiation therapy it wasn’t the same, now it’s REALLY EVOLVED ! ❤
So cute😍😍
Will Goals for Glio come to California?
Hello, thank you for reaching out and for your question. While Goals for Glio is currently an East Coast event, we would love for anyone interested to create their own version of Goals for Glio on the West Coast or wherever they are located! You can also visit our website to view our current and upcoming events: braintumor.org/events/
Well I had a GBM in 1991 and I’m still alive ! 😊 Regrettably no longer walking very far ( balance and memory issues have presented themselves ). But there’s DEFINITELY HOPE !!!
I hope l make it as long as you have. I was diagnosed with Glioblastoma in December 2023.
I'm just shy of 16 months survival without phase 1 of treatment. Couldn't have surgery or radiation due to my tumor being diffuse. Fills in all the nooks in the right hemisphere of my brain. Surgery and radiation would have been detrimental to my quality of life. Jumped right into temezolomide (oral chemo) and Avastin infusions. Taking anti- seizure meds everyday. Wearing Optune since Oct 23. Feeling good now but this could be as unpredictable as being diagnosed. Stay strong all my GBM warriors!!
Similar to mine..
Praying for all the families affected by GBM. 🙏🏼 I was diagnosed with grade IV a couple of months ago. In third week of radiotherapy and chemo now. Doctors have told me it will come back more aggressively after treatment. I wanted to try adding Ivermectin or Mebendazole to my treatments but I am not permitted to here in Australia as Doctors are not allowed to go beyond NHS protocols of radiation and chemo, even though they don’t cure it. I am so thankful for my beautiful husband, family and friends and for their prayers. ❤🙏🏼✝
My life-partner of now 17 years, overnight suspected stroke, rushed off to EC, CT and MRI brain tumor, the size of a fist, in his occipital lobe; managed to rush him off to another city, for emergency neurosurgery while busy coning, arrived in time, mannitol and steroids, in theatre at 4pm, out at 830pm. Histology back 3 days later - glioblastoma multiforme. September 22nd 2021. It was a Wednesday. Standard care. And even with another 2 craniotomies with tumor excisions later, and failed temozolomide and Avastin, with growing tumor in his parietal lobe, and now on palliative chemo, he lives and longs to live life. 2 years and 10 months. Thanks to our wonderful oncologist and neurosurgeon, but more importantly, thanks for such a positive extraordinary man in my life. Keep fighting and living life, to those with disease and also to the carers.
I still wonder : Had a GBM when I graduated high school in 1991 @18 . . . I’m 51 now and actually finally retired . . My note is that thankfully radiation therapy has been improved . . Radiation therapy caused me to go into comatose hibernation each winter for my twenties, but I’m alive and living in my own little apartment like the average person . 😊 . . Never give up hope because God’s got your back 👍
I need a cure. I have Glioblastoma.
Maybe you can update us on the current GBM agile trial. When can we expect data? What drugs are starting to prove effective??
Hello, thank you for reaching out and for your question. You can get more details and learn more about GBM Agile on our website here: braintumor.org/research/clinical-trials/gbm-agile/
@@NationalBrainTumorSociety it's a dead end link. No news other than we can expect results by 2027. Too far away
Please keep going and find that cure. 💔🙏🏼❤️
My mom has Stage 4 Breast Cancer that metastasized to her lymph nodes, liver, and bones. It was maintained with chemo every month for a year. Then early this year doctors confirmed it also spread to her brain. She had 5 radiation treatments in one week due to the severity of little tumors. After the 4th treatment she had a panic attack or silent seizure and things just continued to go down hill from there. Her mobility slowly shut down, had hospital visits because she stopped having bowel movements. Hospital had her bedridden without actual food for weeks only IV liquids. Causing major delay for her chemo and radiation treatments. Once we took her out of hospital, her chemo docs said nothing could be done now, put her on hospice. By then she could only move her face and neck. Now her jaw is locked and docs say food or iv liquids wont elongate her life. I dont want her to feel she’s starving or feel pain especially now. I wouldn’t wish this evil on my worst enemy. My mom didn’t deserve this hard life. Ppl cancer caught late acts as a demonic plague on your body. And if treatments don’t cure it right away, or stabilizes it, it may speed up the downfall. whether chemo or surgery gets rid of the cancer or not. Please be aware that it can come back! And aggressively, or spread to the brain for months before your doctor even notices. Exercise and eat clean early on, get ride of stress. Cancer loves sugar and stagnate bodies. Many chemo treatments don’t target the brain so its missed. Advocate for yourself because for some doctors you are just more money in their pockets or a lost cause due to your stage of cancer.
My wife all so suffering gbm over one year now

Now a MBA graduate, and 18-year survivor and happy young woman!
I am a Giloblastoma surviver and I am in my 18 th month and I am doing really good. I did six weeks of radiation and chemo treatments and then I started optune cap and then we did 25 treatments more of radiation and I am doing chemo every 3 weeks and I am doing really good. I am not taking any medication at all for seizures or swelling and my last M R I was the best one we have had. I thank the Lord every day for another day and I know that the Lord is with me all the time. It is not about me but it's about what the Lord is doing for me. I haven't had one head ake or gotten sick because of chemo. Not one time have I been sick. Thank you Lord.
Glad to hear your doing great 👍👍👍

What is your age? My MIL is 74 and was diagnosed 2 months ago
@@ingevonschneider5100just because someone doesn't survive doesn't mean she won't survive she will beat this and I hope people like u get their lesson ...who r so negative and insensitive to others ....also I have seen people survive shame on u man
This video is very informative. Dr Nduom did my wife surgery in August 2022. Thanks to him, she's doing well and free of the left side meningioma. He's an excellent surgeon and I would highly recommend him
should u also deliver radiation therapy to acoustic neuromas?
I have an acoustic neuroma. It's about 1.7 cm. I recently had stereotactic radiosurgery which is a type of radiation for acoustic neuroma. I had that in May of this year. It was only one session and it only lasted about 6 minutes. I get an MRI done in August and then I see the doctor for a follow-up the next week. So I can't tell you whether or not it's been successful or not because there has been no measurement as yet and I'm still dealing with the side effects.
Absolutely fabulous human being. Thank you for sharing her story.
