I appreciate all of the information and thank you for sharing it. We head to Syracuse this morning for his first re-radiation treatment. He will have 10 total. We are still waiting for the Keytruda to get here. I will look into all of the treatments you mentioned. Steve's tumor is not methylated, which makes it a little more difficult to treat, unfortunately. Glad to hear your Dad made a full mental recovery. GBM is certainly scary stuff!

A second round of radiation started last Tuesday, but today we find ourselves back seeing a doctor before his treatment. He is nauseous and unsteady on his feet and his speech a little garbled. Doctor says his brain is swelling because the radiation site has already had 6 weeks of it previously plus two surgeries. They put him back on 4 mg of Dexamethasone 2x day for 7 days to reduce the swelling. I sure hope it works. His last radiation treatment will be one week from yesterday. I got word that the Keytruda has been approved, so that will start tomorrow along with his Avastin. I sure hope he can tolerate it all.
