Have you checked into the Gamma Knife? It cuts off the blood supply to either side of the tumor (and is non invasive) and causes it to wither and die. It wasn't an option for my sister and she had gone through radiation therapy and we were told had her lifetime supply of radiation. I think it's a combination of radiation and laser technology and has been effective. Best of luck to you and your family.
Subject: Husband w/ Glioblastoma

My husband was diagnosed last week. we have been to several treatment canters. His tumor seems to grow very rapidly as he had a CT scan 8 days prior to finding the two masses and the scan was supposedly negative. He underwent surgery and seems to be doing fine. he has all his physical abilities as well as his mental functioning in order. We were going with the inter-coradid arterial line chemo, The only place they do it is at Stony Brook University Hospital, But my husband really can't stand the treatment or the level of care given there so we are going to Sloan Kettering. I too wanted the gamma knife. but the doctor said it wasn't an option?
