Anyone dealing with brain cancer
I was diagnosed 3 4 years ago with a rare brain cancer but in remission but I think it's coming back worse because I'm losing eye sight and body pain and weakness and my appetite not good hair falling out again etc..

I agree that some people don’t want to face their own mortality and also don’t know what to say. Interestingly though, one of the people who ghosted me and who I really was wanting to have his support was a Baptist minster for 20 years. That is what truly shocked me. I didn’t see that coming.
Hello dconway and @adrian092 ,
I completed my 6 months of 5 days per month of TMZ in July 2024. The oncologist that I was seeing at the time said that I too would have to wear the device on my head daily for extended hours per day. I asked why and he did not have an answer. I refused that treatment of course and found a 2nd opinion. To this day, I never worn that device and never will.
I did have some growth earlier this year, which I was aware that it could happen. It appeared on 2 MRIs I had. However, my last appointment/MRI in the 3rd week of May, showed that the growth shrunk without any additional treatment as my current oncologist had a wait and see attitude. I was told that it was not uncommon for that to happen. It made me and my oncologist very happy.
I do wish you the best moving forward. Remember, the final decision is yours in anything you do for treatment. Take care!
Hello sjt10323,
Thank you for the message. I'll complete the 6 months of 5 days per month this July 2025 so I'm exactly a year behind you. Hopefully we'll be exchanging comments next July 2026.
