@keer my sibling was right side…he had surgery very quickly, 80 per cent removal. However, he has methylated and wild type which is the worst of the worst condition. Did both chemo and radiation and did well with side effects. He is pretty athletic which helps and vegetarian Keto type diet.

I don’t know about his recent mri with a follow up one in about six weeks…he prefers to not upset us but reading between the lines it’s not good. Has been on Keppra since the initial diagnosis which helps.

I don’t think he is eligible for any trials…one has to consider longevity and quality of life…

My dad's also MGMT methylation with wild type.
Can you tell me about vegetarian keto diet

Hello- my husband has glioblastoma as well. His right parietal tumor is also methylated and IDH wild type. My understanding is that such a combo is a positive thing, not “the worst of the worst.” His tumor has thankfully responded very well to the standard treatment, including the 6 month 5/23 chemo protocol.
