Hello @intesar I am Scott and I welcome you to Connect. Here you will find many folks who can share their experiences and journeys through medical demands and conditions of a wide variety. I will add though most of us are not any sort of medical expert, nor have we had medical school training.

My wife had brain cancer for 14+ years and was diagnosed at the age of 49. Often the doctors made a prognosis, whose timing proved wrong, but not erroneous. For instance they told us she might live for 7 years and she lived for 14. Once in home hospice they said she might live for less than 6 months, but lived for 14 months. So, yes, there is always hope. However, it is always wise, in my personal opinion, to take the words and diagnoses of the medical professionals to heart.

My wife had her second opinion done at Mayo as well as her biopsy and surgery. We found exceptional neuro-oncology care on their Rochester, Minnesota campus.

My wife also chose to not undergo several specific medical interventions as she made the decision she would rather have a higher quality of life versus just a longer one.

So as I said I do believe there is always room for hope, but it must be tempered by the information provided by those who know much more in the medical realm than those of us without their training and wisdom.

Have I at least partially answered your question?

Peace and strength!
