I was diagnosed with GBM in January 2023, had successful resection surgery, 6 weeks of proton beam radiation therapy and Temodar. Started second round of chemotherapy this month 5 days on/21 days off. I started Optune last week. I am also Mgmt positve for which I am so grateful. The Optune research data is promising and it takes some getting used to incorporating into my life style. I wish I had more to report but I am early in the process with high expectations. I started the keto diet as advised by my integrative oncologist but was having so much trouble with my appetite that we are focusing on that right now.

My wife was diagnosed with GBM in late February 2023 and will be starting the second round of chemo at the end of next week.
Did your insurance or Medicare cover the costs of the Optune device?
