Gliadel Wafer, infused with carmustine
First of all...Thanx to all !! I have stage IV Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, But I"ve had Brain Mets lately.
I know you at least... and if you have family involved, they are going throught the crap too .
Long story short, the doc's want to use Gliadel Wafers on brain mets, infused with Carmustine chemo... after brain surgery . This will be the 3rd time...in lieu of the Autolitt device.
Has anyone dealt with this Wafer??
Love
Dave
