My wife was diagnosed with grade 4 GBM in February 2023, the mass was in the left front lobe, which impacted her memory and recall capabilities.
She had surgery immediately which removed about 94% of the mass.
After two weeks she started seven weeks of daily radiation treatment and daily chemo pills.
She then had six chemo maintenance cycles, 5 chemo days followed by 23 days of no treatments.
MRIs were performed after the radiation treatment and after each chemo maintenance cycle. Each MRI showed to progression of the cancer.
The MRI cycle was increased to every two months, the next is 3/19/24, and so far no progression of the cancer has been detected.
We indeed live MRI to MRI we are living life to the maximum possible and are thankful for each day.
She has resumed YMCA exercise classes, reading hard-copy books, and putting together jigsaw puzzles in the last two months.
Good luck in your lives and may God shine on all of you.
