"In light of continued slow progression of the residual tumor, the patient intensified his KMT starting in October, 2018 with inclusion of mindfulness techniques to reduce stress. While Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) shows slow interval tumor progression, the patient remains alive with a good quality of life at the time of this report." He is now at 82 months from original diagnosis.

There is a type of glioblastoma that is slow growing compared to the more common and aggressive form which is fast growing. The life expectancy for someone with the aggressive form, from time of diagnosis is 1-2 years while the less aggressive form can be up to 6 or more years.

Without or without KMT mindfulness techniques to reduce stress, he’d probably be at the same place he is now. But get back to me after 7 – 10 years and tell me if he survived.
