What state?
Hi JareDamy21
So sorry to hear about your husband. I am on the same road as you are as I'm helping my brother go through GBM IV. There is a saying in my country...'you can't refuse to go to sleep because you are afraid of having a bad dream'. Fortunately doctors can't really predict when exactly a tumor will regrow as everybody has a different timeline. So dont let your husband stop living life to the fullest or fight his tumor the strongest b/c he is afraid of when it's going to comeback. Enjoy everyday, do things that will make him happy and plan your next vacation and the one after like you normally would. The diagnoses has stolen the far future from our lives but it doesn't have to rob us the present, the here and now.
What state are you in so I can recommend a NO for u
Best wishes

Good Morning:
Thank you for sharing your positive attitude! I like your perspective. Keep living and never give up hope. I think if you read the different blogs on this site one can see that everyone has their own journey on this illness, some medicine works on some, others it doesn't. Keep looking at docs until you find one you are comfortable with. There is a website, unfortunately, I cannot remember which one exactly, I think it is the National Brain Tumor Society, it has a link that gives a break down on hospitals and the ways they treat brain cancer and the number of doctors and the procedures available. I will look on internet and post again after this post. Pray about your decisions and your medical care. God will answer your prayers. I send God's blessings to you and yours.

Yes exactly... Don't stop living and never give up hope.
The only one I know that's somewhat closer to you is dr Henry Friedman at duke. Has the latest research for the east coast and very approachable. Hope you find someone closer if not try contacting duke.
Together in hope0
