@daughterfuturemd, great questions. I moved your message to this existing discussion about the Optune device. In addition to @marcyprof, I'd like to bring @debraannk and @nursnis into this discussion to help you find answers to your questions about Optune.

Is your father a candidate for the Optune device? Can you remind me what treatments he has had?

Thanks for redirecting my post to the right thread @colleenyoung 🙂 I think so?? He has had surgery and is undergoing radiation at the moment WITHOUT Temodar given the risk of immunosuppression and COVID-19. The plan post radiation was briefly mentioned to us and consisted of possibly pursuing Optune once the follow-up MRI has been done 4-6 weeks post completion of radiation.
