My wife just completed surgery to remove a massive glioblastoma tumor from her frontal lobe. They got all but a small piece. That doesn’t actually buy as much time as one would think.
She starts radiation and chemo in about 10 days and it lasts for 6 weeks. That is followed by more chemo. The tumor will grow back again and again until no treatment helps. They mentioned a device called Optune as a way to stop or slow the cancer growth using some type of electrical field. Just getting into the treatment options and nothing looks long lasting. If this helmet can kill the cancer, it will be a game changer.
Prayers up for your wife. I lost mine to cancer last year.
Hopefully, there has been many advances in treatment in the 30+ years since we lost our Dad. His tumor was inoperable because it was so diffuse and throughout the brainstem.
At that time, he only had a brainstem biopsy and radiation.
We were on our own after the radiation didn’t work, the doctors had nothing to offer so they avoided us.
I pray that this magnetic treatment is a breakthrough.
My nephew used the Optune for a year. It basically bought him an extra year of life. Hopefully this new magnetic helmet is even more effective.
Praying for your wife.
