The Optune device has to be worn 18+ hours a day, etc…it is only minimally effective..,if you look back on this chat, I listed several books on glioblastoma that give both a medical and patient perspective on this cancer.

They helped me understand very well what my family member has, nearly identical to what your mom’s diagnosis. My family is a medical researcher and has chosen to not do Optune.

How old is your mom?

One thing I read about is that researchers are looking at drugs already on the market to try in conjunction with existing cancer drugs. One example is gabapentin. I personally use it for nerve pain-it was originally for seizures!
There are ta lot of medicines out there that are better for problems than for their original purpose-they are even looking at GLP-1!

If you cannot find the list of books, please reply and I will list them for you. All of them come together with a very good picture of how your mom is medically and also what this cancer really is.

Sometimes, the drugs are worse than the disease-my family member has let us know that it comes down to quality of life over months of feeling lousy from treatment side effects.
