Brain Tumour Survivor

No, not true, that I was questioned by North Sydney police about car rebirthing racket. though, if you're after late model prestige car with weld seam through the middle, just DM me

Hi Kaylan. Welcome. I have two daughters, so I have wondered about whether there might be a genetic disposition to malignantbrain tumours. My highly regarded oncologist said outright that there was no evidence there was a genetic link (unlike some other cancers). A relative has far more chance ofcon...

Personally, I'm just relieved I didn't get the Rodney King treatment, that would have been hard to explain to my wife when I got home Seriously, Aussie cops are great!

I had stopped going for early morning walks because of the chemo and the cold, but this morning at 5am, I felt good, and it wasn’t too cold, so off I went. My balance isn’t too great, and at one point as I was getting to a jog I steadied myself by holding onto a car. A second later a car pulls up ne...

Hi Kelly, Thanks for sharing. Thankfully for Kevin and myself, we're at a time, where there is real hope. for GBMers. I'm very wary about giving advice or even talking too much to other GBMers, as everyone is so different. and it's not my place to comment or to give advice, which is why I just share...

When doctors with distant looks and bulging eyes, Foretell a time of your demise, If you dare seek, than you will find, The answer deep within your mind. Hey come on, being a 2 year survivor of a GBM4 gives me certain rights, including the vright to write bad, teenage poetry Take care everyone. John...

How wonderful!

Always remain positive and never take what they tell you at face value, we are all unique

Amen to that!

Abstract PURPOSE: To conduct a controlled trial of bevacizumab for the treatment of symptomatic radiation necrosis of the brain. METHODS AND MATERIALS: A total of 14 patients were entered into a placebo-controlled randomized double-blind study of bevacizumab for the treatment of central nervous syst...

MRI 24/5/11 Both radiooncologist and neuro oncologist were very happy with the MRI. Overheard oncologist saying to colleague his scan was "brilliant". The theory at the moment is that the December 15 incident was late radiation damage arising because the residue Avastin in my blood stream ...

Here's the boring stuff. Dec 15. MRI. Had a focal seizure while waiting for radio oncologist, loosing control of left arm and leg.MRI looked very nasty. Had a great Christmas though. Jan 18 MRI looked nasty, Needed to look at left arm in order to control it. Jan 21 Consulted with neurosurgeon. Said ...

Way to go! Drugs are nasty, I know, but they do stuff.

I'll skip all the boring stuff. Saw my oncologist just before Easter, and she said to stop chemo (2 days into bonus cycle 9 (ie cycle 15). For the first time in a very long time I'm starting to feel human again. It's nice.Just in relation to the experimental FET scan (not PET scan), my radiation onc...

Also, it may not make you sick - it made me a Zombie, but I worked throughout. A two year survivor I know says it just makes things a little less vivid. I would respectfully suggest that you don't jump to conclusions.

Kelle, I've just finished 14 cycles of Temozolomide. Before Temozolide, people with GBM4s were lucky to get 6 months. Now more than 50% make it past 18 months (The median at my local hospital Royal North Shore is 18 months rather than the often stated 14.7 months. Some live purposefully and happily ...
