3 ReactionsPlease check out Dr. Linda Liau at UCLA. She is an accomplished nuerosurgeon She has saved the lives of many patients who were anticpating death because of glioblastoma. Google her and check out her presentations on YouTube. She is my personal hero. A rare combination of genius and angel.

7 ReactionsDiksha- I should have also wrote about Dr. Ashkan at Kings College in The UK. He is also accomplished and utilizes the same method- the Dendritic cell technique He is very patient centered. He and Dr. Liau would both encourage freezing the part of the tumor that can be removed. I am aware of numerous survivors, but every case in unique. I hope your boyfriend gets good care.

1 ReactionI lost my wife of 55 years on 9/10/24 to that wicked brain cancer. To date there is no known cure or treatment. Ellen lasted 17 months, which I believe is about average for the cancer.
Enjoy life to the maximum, force yourself to smile, and be kind.
