New Member- Any Guidance is Much Appreciated :)
Hello, I am joining to gain insight on behalf of my 59 year old mother who was diagnosed in February 2025 with Grade 4 Glioblastoma brain cancer. it metastasized to her lower spine. She had a craniotomy to remove as much of the brain tumor as possible, and the spine tumor is inoperable. She has completed radiation for both the brain and spine, with a week of overlap on both. She also completed her first round of 6 weeks continuous oral chemo- temodar. I am working together with my younger sister and father as we work and take care of mom at the same time. Our warrior mother is learning how to walk again with the assistance of a walker. She has four adult daughters, a wonderful family, and a four month old granddaughter to live for. We are seeking support, tips, tricks, information, ideas, and connections in this community. Bonus points if you are located in Florida. Thank you for reading, please pray for us.

Hi,
I am so sorry to hear about your moms diagnosis.
My husband was diagnosed with an oligo grade 3in Dec 2024, he had a craniotomy and now we are just monitoring the residual tumor. He had to learn how to read and talk again.
I have found doctors do not necessarily talked about changing our diet enough.
We have started a therapeutic ketogenic diet and it has done wonders for my husband.
I recomend the below books:
- Dr. Nasha Winters - The metabolic approach to cancer (also in audio book)
- Miriam Kalamian - Keto for cancer
Wishing you the best :)
