i have read your blogs and I am sorry for your loss.  You said your husband had 3 surgeries, may I ask you questions.  My 30 year old daughter was diagnosised in August 2012.  She has had surgery, radiation, chemo and Gamma Knife.  Eight months later they believe they see another tumor.  Next week she is scheduled for MRI Spectroscopy.  Does the second and third surgeries help? I would do anything to give her more time,but with good quality.  Any insight you can share is greatly appreciated.

I AM NEW TO THIS SITE TOO. I AM 39 AND HAD A BRAIN TUMOR REMOVED ON DEC 3,2012. MY HUSBAND THOUGHT I WAS HAVING A STROKE. I JOINED THIS SITE HOPING TO FIND SOMEONE TO TALK TO GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING. I WENT THROUGH 6 WEEKS OF RADIATION AND A CHEMO PILL (TEMODAR). AND I JUST STARTED MY 5/23 DOSE OF TEMODAR I WILL BE DOING FOR A YEAR. DID YOUR HUSBAND HAVE HIS FIRST MRI AFTER THE SURGERY YET?

Hi, very sorry to hear about your husband's disease. Hope he recovers well from the treatment, but GBM is a bad unpredictable type of tumor. Difficult to say how much chemo and radiation will benefit, even though it benefits the chances of recurrence is quite high. I am not trying to scare you but i am saying this of a personal experience. Mu uncle was diagnosed with GBM and underwent surgery followed by chemo and radiation. Initially he was okay but there was recurrence of disease, he was practically given very less hope. Chemo and radiation didn't help much. He went for a new treatment "SPMF" really did benefit from it. Its been amost 4 yrs since the SPMF treatment and he is doing well and going to office. I feel you should try out this treatment for your husband. You can visit the website for more details .

My husband died 21 April 2013

what is this SPMF.  Not that it matters for us since my Eddie died april 21, 2013 at 5:54 am after 6 and a half year fight with gbm stage 4.  We did 2 craniotomies accompanied by the chemo and concurrent radiotion on surgery 1, then only Temodar (chemo) to accompany surgery 2.  Then gamma knife aand finally avastin and CCNU.  He got 6 and a half years, way more than 99% of GBMers but he was only 48 when he died and he was so healthy looking otherwise, and he was just too young and it is all just soo wrong in so many ways.  I got on tonite because i am despondent and instead of comfort i feel my heart break for each bewildered frightened distraught entry I read.  We went through it all.  The longest survival we'd heard about was a man who'd had a blog several years ago and he'd survived through surgeries and recurrences for 13 years.  For those who don't know yet a lot depends on the location, the size, the stage of the cancer and then on the individual; if they are relatively young, strong and healthy like my husband was, or if they were as Ted Kennedy was 77 years old with a difficult location to operate on.

Annwaz- I am so sorry for loss of your husband, and that your heart hurts. He survived for 13years and so did you! Sometimes/most

of the time, I think it is so much harder for the care giver tahn for us with GBM. Bless your heart! I am stage 4 GBM also, I would love to get 13years out of this deal. My daughter is only 6yrs old and I worry so much about damaging her by leaving when she is so little. You have offered some HOPE! Thanks! Ryan

Hi, Annwaz.

I rarely get on this site now since I lost my 29 year old son on Oct 15, 2012. He fought hard and suffered through a brutal 3 1/2 year battle with a grade three anaplastic oligodendroglioma--the kind of brain cancer that the first doctor told us that if you had to have brain cancer, this is a good one to have. What an idiot. Anyway, I also feel heartbroken for all the desperate, firghtened posts on this site. I want to be able to offer comfort but after what we went through, I don't feel like I have much to offer. I pray that someone, some doctor or some research facility, will find a cure for this vicious disease. And I hope and pray that they find it soon.

Love and blessings,

Cindy in Salem, OR
