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?

Novocure believes Medicare will pay but apparently they won’t approve until you begin treatment which is so weird! I’ll update when I have a definitive answer.
