My name is Carlos I reside in San francisco California and my father of te age of 62 was diagnosed with a grade IV tumor in his head. He has gone thru 2 surgeries plus 2 more surgeries for just infection in his wound. He's also gone thru chemos and radiation , unfortunately they did a scan on his head to see wether the tumor had grown back after his surgery and eventually it did twice as big as when they removed it. His doctor had no other options but hospice care. My father as of right now cannot stand severe pain in his brain and head due to the swelling of the tumor. He also has lost his vision and weakness on left and right side, he also can't walk that good.
